Page 8 THE Reporter August 15, 2013 Editorial Letter to the Editor A notable win for Cullinane It escaped the immediate attention of the daily press in Boston this week, but Tuesday’s nomina- tion of Dan Cullinane by Democratic voters in the 12th Suffolk District certainly merits more than a glancing look from the city’s political class. The 28-year-old Dorchester resident won a decisive victory across the district, which includes his home base area around Cedar Grove, but also farther-flung precincts in Hyde Park, where voters of color have been gaining serious clout in recent elections. Cullinane, who is white, beat out two well-qualified women of color for the nomination: Stephanie Everett and Marydith Tuitt. His campaign was better financed, but he also seemed to run a more robust volunteer-driven effort that drew seasoned political activists under his tent from across the district. That paid off on Tuesday, as Cullinane carried both Let’s all try to find a middle ground predominantly white and black precincts alike on his way to a convincing win.
