davis_squareThis coming Tuesday, January 10, there will be a special Democratic primary election for the 27th Middlesex seat in the Massachusetts House of Representatives. This seat covers about half of Somerville, including Davis Square. Two candidates are running, Denise Provost (now an Alderman-at-Large) and Elizabeth Moroney. No Republicans or independents are running, so the winner of this primary will almost certainly win the seat.
To find out whether you live in the district, go to this page and enter your address. If the "Rep in General Court" is listed as "VACANT - TWENTY-SEVENTH MIDDLESEX DISTRICT", then you do. Moroney's web site also includes a map of the district.
To vote in this Democratic primary, you must be either a registered Democrat, or an registered independent ("unenrolled") voter. If you are not registered, or are registered as a Republican or Green or Libertarian, it is too late to (re-)register now.
I'm supporting Denise, but I consider both candidates to be generally progressive Democrats.

I understand that people have strengths and weaknesses, and perhaps writing isn't among her strengths, but surely her campaign has enough support to include someone who's good at proofreading, right? I don't need my legislator to be an expert in everything, but I'd like to know that she'll ask for input from others when needed...)
