Boston-area voters should know that the Suffolk County Sherriff’s election is really tight right now. That Tuesday the 14th is the Democratic Primary election aroud here and that Sciortino is probably a better choice over Rep. Vincent Ciampa in the Somerville and Medford area. Incumbent Ciampa is anti-gay-marriage, but Somerville has a big gay population so this is a good chance to tilt Beacon Hill toward justice. You could do worse than to look at the virulent bigot’s guide to anti-judicial-review candidates, and vote the opposite of what they suggest.
Also, it’s not too late to donate to the MoveOn Voter Fund or the MoveOn PAC.
