Election poll - Governor of Massachusetts

[ron_newman]

The primary election for Governor of Massachusetts, as well as other statewide and district offices, is only eight weeks away: Tuesday, September 9.

If the election were held today, for whom would you vote?

(Note: like our previous polls in DSLJ, this is not a secret ballot; individual votes are readable by all members of the community)

[Poll #1975440]

I have not listed independent candidates here because they will not be on the September 9 primary ballot, and we don't know who they all are yet (the filing deadline is July 29). But if you support one, tell us in the comments.

All discussion about the state election (for Governor or any other office) is welcome here. I'll probably post a second poll when we get closer to the primary and more folks are paying attention.

I'd love to have the EPA issue national regs but that's not happening. So, state-based change is where it's at. And state environmental regs can make a difference - look at California and car emission, which have led opinion and influenced manufacturers and eventually led to better fuel standards.

California regulations had to do with things that affected California much more strongly than other states or nations. The pollutants of the time tended not to make it out of California, especially if generated in the LA basin, for example. That's different from greenhouse gases, where emissions tend not to have much effect locally or regionally.
