By Lew Finfer Special to the Reporter I have been told that Ward 16, Precinct 9 – the section of Dorchester between Minot, Adams, and Ashmont Streets – is the most conservative voting precinct in the city. On Election Day last week, the precinct favored Charlie Baker, 469-356, or 59 percent to 41 percent, as one of the two of Dorchester’s 69 precincts that voted for Baker over Coakley. But these same residents also voted for Earned Sick Days/Question 4, 556-291, or 65.6 percent to 34.4 percent. They are “Reagan Democrats,” the term used some 35 years ago for those working class white Democrats who had begun a shift to voting Republican when Ronald Reagan was winning his way to the White House. These Democrats felt more connected to Republicans on issues of abortion, crime preven- tion, military spending, cultural life style issues while their economic interests were allied with the Democrats who stood with the unions, the poor, and the average working person. This majority vote in a Dorchester precinct for both Charlie Baker and Earned Sick Days illustrates that tension of interests and beliefs. My organization co-chaired the Raise UP Mas- sachusetts coalition that collected the signatures One man’s memoir recalls to qualify Question 4 for the ballot and then organized the voter education campaign to push for the win, which will enable almost a million the Dorchester of 50 years ago people who had no sick days at their jobs to get five days year to take care of themselves, their By Eliza Healy the first US Army recruiter he spoke with told him children, or their ill relatives.
