Research from a @PrioritiesMass 2021 trial to increase Black voter turnout featured in today's Boston Globe from @dscharfGlobe #bospoli #mapoli

Morning, Mass. ⛅️ Two new polls show a lot of undecided voters w/ less than 2 wks left — and that means key primaries are still up for grabs. Plus: — Baker would vote to repeal new driver's license law — @emilyslist backs @Tanisha4MA @MayorDriscoll #mapoli politi.co/3KkCn0Z
