Vote in the Sept. 1 Primary

For United States Senate, Progressive Brookline encourages you to cast your vote for Senator Ed Markey. 

Senator Markey has long been a progressive champion. He is endorsed by Progressive Mass, and we join the 91% of Progressive Mass members who voted to endorse Markey for re-election. 

You can view the questionnaire he submitted to Progressive Mass here. His opponent did not return a questionnaire to Progressive Mass. You can also watch interviews with both candidates from the Progressive Mass annual meeting.

Brookline is part of Massachusetts' Fourth Congressional District. On the September ballot, voters will be able to choose between two candidates: 

• Incumbent: Jake Auchincloss (D) (Read the questionnaire)

• Challenger: Jason Poulos (D) (Read the questionnaire)

Progressive Brookline sent questionnaires to both candidates. While Progressive Brookline is not endorsing in this race, we wanted to ask both candidates about their priorities and how they relate to our chapter's goals. 

Brookline is part of the Third District of the Governor's Council. The Governor's Council provides input on the governor's appointments, pardons and commutations, and warrants for the state treasury. On the September ballot, voters will be able to choose between two candidates: 

• Incumbent: Mara Dolan (D) (Read the questionnaire)

For Norfolk County District Attorney, Progressive Brookline encourages you to cast your vote for Djuna Perkins. 

In total, seven candidates are running in the September primary: 

• Jim Barakat (D) (Read the questionnaire)

• Greg Connor (D) (Questionnaire not returned)

• Adam Deitch (D) (Read the questionnaire)

• Bob Jubinville (D) (Read the questionnaire)

• Macy Lee (D) (Read the questionnaire)

• Craig MacLellan (D) (Read the questionnaire)

• Djuna Perkins (D) (Read the questionnaire) (PB Endorsed)

We believe that, given her work both as a prosecutor and in private practice, Djuna Perkins has the best professional background to lead the Norfolk County District Attorney’s Office. Djuna is committed to bringing real, meaningful change to a troubled office. Djuna’s Blueprint for Justice is a comprehensive platform that explains her holistic approach to the legal system. Her commitment to transparency, focus on equity and justice, and her plans to protect our neighbors from ICE, coupled with her status as an experienced outsider, would bring much-needed change to the District Attorney’s Office. We are proud to join two other Progressive Mass chapters in endorsing Djuna: Progressive Mass West Norfolk County and Neponset Valley Progressives.
