All eyes are on now GOP extremists
But any moderate needs just 4 allies to gain full leverage
Dem leader @RepJeffries is clear: a bipartisan governing coalition is ready
The one the Problem Solvers promised

Will Austin of the Boston Schools Fund urges lawmakers not to allow the Lottery to move online. Noting the Lottery's record profits, he says the state should not expand a gambling operation that disproportionately hits lower-income state residents. commonwealthmagazine.org/opi…

There are no winners with an online lottery. Let’s find a better way to raise revenue, Massachusetts. #mapoli commonwealthmagazine.org/opi…

Just saw the latest poll from @PrioritiesMass and no surprise here—positives for the whole #mapoli delegation! (+18 for @sethmoulton!)
Goes to show that voters appreciate leaders who unite, tell the truth, and do what's right, even when it's not politically expedient.

Morning, Mass. ☀️ A majority of Bay State voters identify as political moderates in new @PrioritiesMass poll & they're giving the new gov good marks. Plus:

The most important political decisions in #mapoli, Griffin says, are made in these generally low-turnout elections. And that’s where the most important interventions can be made. bit.ly/3Jz5cbN

When all three Black candidates for mayor of Boston fell short in 2021, there was broad concern about how to build Black political power in the city. Turns out, a local policy lab was quietly studying that question in real time. My latest for @GlobeIdeas: bostonglobe.com/2023/01/26/o…

Research from a @PrioritiesMass 2021 trial to increase Black voter turnout featured in today's Boston Globe from @dscharfGlobe #bospoli #mapoli
Roughly 30 percent of white Boston voters cast ballots in Boston’s 2021 mayoral preliminary, but only 25 percent of Black voters and 14 percent of Latino voters participated.
What would it take to boost Black voter turnout in Boston?

"Both a centrist third party and a pro-democracy GOP are unicorns: It’s easy to picture what they look like, but they’re the stuff of imagination. The viable path to saving our democracy is more like a platypus." @liamkerr from the archives: thebulwark.com/red-dog-reali…

"In November, we know what the outcome is going to be," Griffin said. Sept was the important election - but most voters don't know that. They deserve to know where their voice carries weight. bit.ly/3TGSBp9 #mapoli via @CommonWealthMag

We need to rethink civic journalism for the 21st century - not just quantity of info, but quality. Voters deserve info they can trust. @PrioritiesMass @dsallentess
« How many of you, if you have something you want to know about politics, Massachusetts, specifically, know an online resource that they can go? » asks @JohnGriffin824 to the audience at Old South Meeting House right now. What is yours? #mapoli @supolscilegal @RevSpaces @GBHNews

“The middle is a bigger story this time around.”
@maura_healey, in overt tones, suggested she’s already there, launching the next phase of her campaign in the literal middle of Mass. with her new running mate, @MayorDriscoll, in Worcester. w/ @MattPStout

“Really, these are the races that are going to shape the commonwealth for the next decades,” Griffin said. “Voters say that they don’t have information to know who to vote for ... you really have to ask yourself what we’re doing wrong” wgbh.org/news/politics/2022/…

New tracking poll by @Policymass shows @AndreaForAG opening lead over @ShannonForAG, 38-30, but race remains volatile with lots of undecided voters. #mapoli commonwealthmagazine.org/pol…
