The Medway town election went smoothly, thanks to the efforts of the Town Clerk, Stefany Ohannesian.
We had some special guests come by, including Senate President Karen Spilka and Rep. Jeff Roy, plus several members of Pipefitters Local 537 who carried signs supporting Jeff. And there were several spirited conversations with Select Board member Dennis Crowley and others.
Thanks to Larry and Carol for setting it all up, staying there ALL day and taking the booth down.
Also helping out were MDTC members Mark Lannigan, Mendy Tarkowski, Carol Ellsworth, Kathleen Yorkis, Paul Yorkis, Sue Rorke, Jen Pavlov, David Blackwell and Phil Fougere who gave very generously of their time and enthusiasm to make the event special. Well done!
It was also gratifying that Democrats swept the ballot in Medway. Turnout was a near-record 76% (8398 ballots cast out of 11067 voters in town)! Kamala Harris took 59% of the town’s vote for President, Elizabeth Warren took 53% for US Senate, Jim McGovern took 66% for US Representative, Jeff Roy took 62% for State Representative in precincts 2-4, and Tamisha Civil took 55% for Governor’s Council. A number of other races featured Democrats with no opponents. All in all, a good day for us here in town.
One hesitates to say we’ll be in survival mode from now on, but, maybe.
