Ballot questions What’s the difference between the Sep. 4th Primary and the Nov. 6th General Election? In the primary election, you’re choosing the candidates from a single party who will run against candidates from the other parties in the November elections. If you are enrolled in one of the 3 political parties that qualify to have state primary ballots (Republican, Democratic or Libertarian), you will receive a ballot with candidates from that party only. If you are an unenrolled voter (often called an independent voter) or if you are enrolled in a political designation (such as the Green Party or Constitution Party), you may choose which ballot to vote on. This voter guide for the primary elections shows responses from Democratic and Republican candidates. There were no Libertarian candidates running for offices we covered.BUT, remember, you will only be able to vote for candidates from a single party in the primary elections. In the November general election, all voters get the same ballot. It will list the candidates who won their party primary elections as well as independent and other candidates who qualified to appear on the ballot. What if there’s a problem with my voter registration? You can find out how to vote with a provisional ballot if there are questions about your registration.

Table of Contents > Page 4 Statewide Executive Branch Offices Q+A Candidate For Governor Jay served as the Governor Patrick’s Secretary of Administration and Finance, achieving the highest bond ratings in state history. He also served as Chairman of the Board of the Massachusetts Health Jay M. Gonzalez (D) Connector, where he oversaw implementation of Massachusetts’ health care reform, and he co-chaired the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center. Most recently, Jay served as President and CEO of CeltiCare Health and New Hampshire Healthy Families, where he helped tens of thousands of low-income residents access the health care services they need. Through his work providing health insurance coverage for low-income residents, helping cities and towns build new schools and fire stations, and managing the state budget for Governor Deval Patrick during the Great Recession, Jay has always put people first. Question 1: Answer 1: What are your top three campaign issues? I would dedicate myself to fixing some of the biggest issues holding regular people back in our state. The top issues I hear about are our transportation, education, and healthcare systems. Massachusetts is ranked 47th nationally on commute times and 45th in the condition of our infrastructure. We must invest more in our transportation infrastructure, so that people can depend on it to get to work on time. Similarly, our healthcare system is too expensive and too complicated for people to navigate. I’ll fight to bring a single payer healthcare system to MA to ensure everyone has access to affordable high-quality care. We are also failing too many of our children. Our funding formula is not giving schools the revenue they need and is especially underfunding our low income students. I would fully fund all our schools and I would ensure every child has access to high-quality affordable childcare and preschool. Question 2: Answer 2: A series of Supreme Court rulings, including Citizens United v. “We the people” is a cornerstone of our American political identity. Federal Elections Commission (2010), struck down state and federal Throughout our history, we have fought hard to build and preserve laws that limited spending on political messages by corporations, this unique government “of the people, for the people, by the organizations, and individuals. These rulings established that people.” Unfortunately, our current campaign finance regulations corporations and organizations have the same First Amendment, are eroding the nature of our democracy. We need to aim high to free-speech rights as people and that spending money on ensure that our elections and government are open and responsive political messages through super PACs is free speech, which the to all of us. We need to make it easier for regular people to impact government cannot limit. This means donors can give as much elections and policy, and to participate equally in the political money as they want to fund political messages through super PACs. process, regardless of their income and resources. I support the In 2012, the Massachusetts legislature passed a resolution asking passage of a federal constitutional amendment that will expressly the U.S. Congress to propose an amendment to the Constitution that permit Congress and states to regulate campaign contributions would reverse Citizens United and “restore the First Amendment and expenditures, including corporate contributions. To this end, and fair elections to the people.” What is your view on the Citizens I am proud to be one of the first candidates in the country to sign United Supreme Court ruling and money in politics in general? the American Promise pledge to use my office to advance this amendment Table of Contents > Continued > Page 5 Statewide Executive Branch Offices Q+A Candidate For Governor: Jay M.

    The General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts State House, Boston, MA 02133-1053 April 7, 2020 David L. Bernhardt, Secretary U.S. Department of the Interior 1849 C Street, N.W. Washington DC 20240 Dear Secretary Bernhardt, We are deeply dismayed and disappointed with the Department of the Interior's recent decision to disestablish and take lands out of trust for the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe on March 27, 2020. Not since the mid-twentieth century has an Interior Secretary taken action to disestablish a reservation. This outrageous decision comes as we mark 400 years since the arrival of the Pilgrims in 1620 and recognize the People of the First Light who inhabited these shores for centuries before contact. The Department’s capricious action brings shame to your office and to our nation. Your decision was cruel and it was unnecessary. You were under no court order to take the Wampanoag land out of trust. Further, litigation to uphold the Mashpee Wampanoag’s status as a tribe eligible for the benefits of the Indian Reorganization Act is ongoing. Your intervention was without merit and completely unnecessary. The fact that the Department made this announcement on a Friday afternoon in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates a callous disregard for human decency. Mashpee Wampanoag leaders were focused on protecting members of their tribe, mobilizing health care resources, and executing response plans when they received your ill-timed announcement. As you are well aware, the Department of the Interior holds a federal trust responsibility to tribes, which includes the protection of Native American lands.

  • Letter to Restore Asthma As a Co-Morbidity for COVID-19 Vaccines
    February 12, 2021 February 12, 2021 Governor Charles Baker State House, Room 280 24 Beacon Street Boston, MA 02144 Secretary Marylou Sudders Executive OfFice oF Health and Human Services 1 Ashburton Place, 11th Floor Boston, MA 02108 Dear Governor Baker and Secretary Sudders: We write today to urge you to restore moderate to severe asthma to the list oF illnesses which constitute a co-morbidity For COVID-19 vaccine distribution and administration purposes. The CDC currently lists moderate to severe asthma as an illness that could present an increased risk For “severe illness From the virus that causes COVID-19” (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/need- extra-precautions/people-with-medical-conditions.html). In 2019, Springfield was described as the nation’s number one asthma capitol by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (https://www.aafa.org/asthma-capitals-top-100-cities-ranking/). We believe the erroneous removal of moderate to severe asthma From the Massachusetts list oF eligible co-morbidities for phase two of the vaccination distribution must be revisited, especially when it is such a common experience among residents in the Commonwealth. Our own Massachusetts Department of Public Health has been engaged on multiple Fronts with combatting asthma in the Commonwealth, including community-based and medical interventions. Prioritizing asthma as a co-morbidity is a public health and racial equity issue. According to the MDPH, the “prevalence of current asthma in Massachusetts was higher among Black, Non-Hispanic adults than White, non-Hispanic adults.” (https://www.mass.gov/service-details/statistics-about- asthma). We recogniZe the importance oF addressing the disproportionate impact of moderate to severe asthma on black and brown communities in the Commonwealth and request that it be prioritized For vaccine distribution as a COVID-19 co-morbidity.

    March 25, 2020 The Honorable Charles Baker State House, Rm 360 Boston, MA 02133 Secretary MaryLou Sudders Executive Office of Health and Human Services 1 Ashburton Place, 11th Floor Boston, MA 02108 Dear Governor Baker and Madam Secretary, We write to channel the urgency that members spoke of on the Legislature’s call with you yesterday, March 24, regarding the systemic response necessary to address the needs and rights of people who are currently without homes. You know well that for this population, the public health recommendation to “stay at home” is not possible, nor will it be possible for an entire shelter population to self-quarantine once a guest is discovered to be COVID-19 positive or for that individual to self-isolate. As you also know very well, this is a very vulnerable community and the sector responsible for serving this community is tireless, though entirely under resourced. We want to underscore that our municipalities are also not capable of adding one more acute need to their long list of concerns. Respectfully, we join together to urge the Commonwealth to immediately identify and dedicate the resources for expanded or alternative shelter structures (by county) that reduce density for this population to address its needs holistically. We are grateful for your commitment to this population and we urge you to act quickly on our shared goals: • Direct local emergency response personnel to consider this effort as part of the Emergency Order. • Identify and assess the necessary infrastructure (e.g. hotel rooms, motel rooms, college and boarding school dormitories, etc.) and/or produce new construction that may be needed (for e.g.

  • Massachusetts Office of Campaign and Political Finance
    Massachusetts Office of Campaign and Political Finance Campaign Finance Activity by Candidates for the Massachusetts General Court 2018 INTRODUCTION This study examines campaign finance activity undertaken by candidates for the Massachusetts Senate and House of Representatives (known collectively as The General Court) in calendar year 2018. The Office of Campaign and Political Finance has issued a report of this type after every state election since 1990. The information contained in this legislative study is based on data compiled from campaign finance reports electronically filed by candidates and treasurers of political committees organized on behalf of candidates for the Massachusetts Senate and House. In 2018, 377 candidates sought legislative office and filed disclosure reports with OCPF: 76 running for 40 Senate seats, and 301 seeking one of 160 House seats. Legislative candidates and their committees are required to file three campaign finance reports disclosing election year financial activity. The reports are due with OCPF eight days prior to the state primary election; eight days prior to the November general election; and in January of the year immediately following. Reports were due from the candidates in this study on Aug. 27, 2018, Oct. 29, 2018, and Jan. 21, 2019. Candidates and committee treasurers are required to disclose their account balances at the beginning of each reporting period; receipts and expenditures for the reporting period; in-kind contributions for the reporting period; and all liabilities. OCPF has taken steps to ensure that the information contained in this study is accurate as of the time of its compilation in 2019. This study takes into account many corrections, additions or deletions made by candidates as a result of any review conducted by OCPF or amendments filed by candidates or political committees.

  • Letter-To-President-Re-International
    students contribute a $41 billion economic impact that supports more than 450,000 jobs. As one of our University Presidents observed, no public good is served by these efforts to deprive international students from continuing to make valuable and necessary contributions to the prosperity of the nation and the impact on the economic interests will be negative and potentially irreversible. This policy is not only punitive to these international students, it also threatens the safety of other students and the communities surrounding college campuses. Additionally, transporting international students who may have been exposed to the coronavirus to other campuses or to airports to fly back to their home countries poses a myriad of health risks. Finally, we understand that both Harvard University and MIT filed suit seeking a preliminary injunction this morning and I am sure others will follow. This litigation will be costly, will take time, and will waste precious judicial resources at a time when we should be focusing on rebuilding our nation. Accordingly, we request that, in the best interest of our nation, you reconsider and rescind the temporary rules to help preserve our higher education system which is, indeed, the envy of the world. Most respectfully, Robert A. DeLeo Jeffrey N.
