I'm voting to re-elect Rebekah Gewirtz here in Ward 6, and I'm also voting for Luis Morales for alderman-at-large because I'd like to see some new blood (and a currently unrepresented group) on the Board. Bill White is the smartest person on the Board and deserves re-election.
Progressive Democrats of Somerville sent questionnaires to candidates, not all of whom responded. You can find those responses here:
Mark Niedergang is a member of my synagogue, someone I like and have known for years. (But that's not my ward and I know nothing about his opponent, so I'm not going to make an outright endorsement.)
