We interrupt this Senate election with a Mayor’s race
On June 25th Massachusetts voters will send a new Senator to Washington DC. Then it’s two months to a preliminary election to determine the next Mayor of Boston. With all due respect to the candidates for Senate, the latter election will confer real power.
The profs chat MaSen
Professors Cunningham and Ubertaccio chat about the contours of the Democratic nomination fight in this year’s special Massachusetts Senate election.

One interesting upset: 22-year-old Republican Alex Morse defeated the incumbent in Holyoke.
