From Our Chair, Bob Binney: Endorsements at Our June 16th Meeting, and Votes to Come on July 21st.

For those who were able to attend our last meeting, thank you for your herculean effort—bearing up through a long presentation, and questions, as well as the heat. It was apparent that the AC wasn't working!

I also appreciate the strong opinions expressed, as they made for a powerful discussion. The floor was open and you delivered. Of course, some were disappointed with the results. But this is Democracy in Action.

The Committee endorsed the following individuals for state-held office positions.

By acclamation, all of our unopposed State Executive Branch candidates:

Governor Maura Healey; Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll; Secretary of State William Galvin; Attorney General Andrea Campbell; State Treasurer and Receiver Deb Goldberg; State Auditor Diane DiZoglio; Register of Probate Stephanie L. Everett.

By acclamation, all of our unopposed State Legislative candidates:

U.S. Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, 6th District, Ward 5 Precincts 1, 2, 2A, and 6 through 10; State Senator Lydia Edwards, Third Suffolk, Ward 5 Precincts 3-9, 11; Representative Jay Livingstone, 8th Suffolk, Ward 5 Precincts 2-11 and 15; Representative Aaron Michlewitz, 3rd Suffolk, Ward 5 Precincts 1, 13, 14; Representative Dan Ryan, 2nd Suffolk, Ward 5 Precincts 10 and 12.

In addition, two-thirds of all eligible members voted to endorse Patrick Roath, candidate for U.S, Congress, 8th District, Ward 5 Precincts 3-8 and 11.

At our next meeting on Tuesday, July 21st, will consider endorsements for First Suffolk State Senate, Suffolk and Middlesex State Senate, and Suffolk District Attorney.

Details to come. We hope you can make it!
