Massachusetts Democrats Flip 3 Seats in the State Legislature, 2 County Seats
Massachusetts Democrats Flip 3 Seats in the State Legislature, 2 County Seats
After voters turned out in record numbers on Tuesday, Massachusetts Democrats celebrated victories down the ballot, adding to majorities in the state House and Senate, in addition to wins at the county level.
US Army veteran John Cronin defeated incumbent Republican Dean Tran in MassDems' third flipped seat in the Senate this year. “I’m so incredibly proud of what we’ve been able to do in this district,” said Cronin. “It’s time for north central Massachusetts to have bold, brave representation in the state Senate. I’m honored that voters have entrusted me with that job and deeply appreciate the support of my volunteers and the MassDems to ensure that every voter had a voice.”
On Cape Cod, Democrat Kip Diggs flipped another Republican-held seat, becoming the first Black legislator to represent the Cape in the legislature. “This race has always been about community, and I’m thankful for the voters, volunteers, and party support that brought us to this point,” said Diggs. “Voters in this district came together to demand a new kind of Representative for this district, and I vow to be a fierce advocate for the Second Barnstable in the Massachusetts House.”
North Attleboro Town Councilor Adam Scanlon flipped a long time Republican-held House seat in Bristol county. “I jumped in this race because I believe in equity and opportunity for all people in this district, and I promise to champion our shared values in the state House,” said Scanlon. “I’m so grateful for everyone who offered their support: my family and friends, the folks at the MassDems, and all of the volunteers and voters who turned out for us this fall.”
Democrats also picked-up two county seats: Patrick McDermott defeated Jerry McDermott in the race for Norfolk County Sheriff, and Sheila Lyons and Mark Forest won seats as Barnstable County Commissioners, defeating incumbent Republican Ron Beaty.
“These victories show that hope triumphs fear, that unity prevails over division. Democrats ran on bold, positive visions for our Commonwealth, and voters turned out for them in record numbers,” said MassDems Chair Gus Bickford. “These victories don't just belong to our candidates, they belong to activists, organizers, volunteers, and most importantly, the voters, everyone that cast a ballot in favor of a brighter, better future for our Commonwealth and our country.”2新冠檢測組將在東波士頓免費服務至11月14日

麻州正副州長查理貝克及白莉朵籲請民眾在等待大選結果時尊重彼此
GOVERNOR CHARLIE BAKER AND LT. GOVERNOR KARYN POLITO
RELEASE STATEMENT ON ELECTION
BOSTON – Today, Governor Charlie Baker and Lt. Governor Karyn Polito released the following statement:
“The United States of America depends on every American having the freedom to
cast their vote and for every vote to be counted. Every American, regardless of
political affiliation, especially the President and every candidate on the
ballot, should be united in supporting this process. Regardless of who wins
this election, the challenges facing the Commonwealth and the nation remain:
defeating the pandemic, rebuilding the economy, and supporting those who need
help in these difficult days. When the results are finally determined, we are
hopeful that all candidates, especially the two running for the most powerful
office in the world, set aside partisanship to improve the lives of all
Americans. While many anxiously await the results of this critically
important election everyone must exercise their First Amendment
right peacefully if they choose to do so, and we ask everyone to be
respectful of one another."
美國(之所以為美國)仰賴著每一個美國人都有投票自由,而且每一票都算數。每一名美國人,不論其政治從屬,特別是總統,以及選票上的每一位總統候選人,在支持這一過程上都應團結。不論誰贏了這場選舉,麻州及國家面對的挑戰仍然在:打敗病毒大流行,重建經濟,支持那些在這困難時期需要幫助的人。當最後有了結果,我們希望所有的候選人,特別是競逐世界上最有權力辦公室的這兩人,把黨派放在一邊,來改善所有美國人的生活。在許多人焦慮等待這非常重要選舉的結果時,每個人都必須和平的行使第一修正案權力,如果選擇這麼做的話,我們籲請每個人彼此尊重。
羅德島州眾議會變天 馮偉傑夫人Barbara 當選
芭芭拉安芬頓(Barbara Ann Fenton-Fung)和丈夫克蘭斯頓(Cranston) 市長馮偉傑(Allan Fung)。(圖片來自馮偉傑臉書) |
在羅德島州的州政府網站上,眾議院第15選區,芭芭拉安芬頓(Barbara Ann Fenton-Fung)得3573票,得票率58.6%,競選連任的羅德島州眾議會議長馬蒂耶洛(Nicholas
Mattiello)得2501票,得票率41%,差距1072票。
儘管有消息稱,克蘭斯頓市郵遞選票還未計算,但美聯社(AP)稱「芭芭拉安芬頓在克蘭斯頓打敗了馬蒂耶洛」,波士頓環球報則說「羅德島州的政治現狀被推翻了,眾議會議長在民意調查中落後」。羅德島州的普域敦斯報(Providence
Journal)形容「芭芭拉安芬頓贏得較多票數,但還有更多票要計算」。
芭芭拉安芬頓在羅德島醫院工作,第一次參選。因為她先生,克蘭斯頓市長馮偉傑曾任羅德島州華人協會會長,還曾經兩度參選羅德島州州長,羅德島州州民和羅德島州華人對芭芭拉安芬頓都不陌生。
馬蒂耶洛在2006年打敗Gordon Fox,首度當選羅德島州眾議員,2014年更進一步當選眾議會議長,並連任迄今。馮偉傑家人都出來為芭芭拉安芬頓拉票。(圖片來自馮偉傑臉書)
這兩名候選人都很謹慎,11月3日晚9點,一人選擇暫不稱勝,另一人選擇暫不認輸。
在這場選戰中,芭芭拉安芬頓的競選策略及終於馬蒂耶洛近年來的許多引人爭議事蹟,包括他的前顧問Jeff
Britt正因為被控在馬蒂耶洛2016年的選舉中有洗錢行為等。
馬蒂耶洛否認他知道Jeff
Britt的行為,告訴選民他會持續減稅,並為克蘭斯頓市學校爭取經費。他有眾議會議長身分,會比少數黨的政治素人芭芭拉安芬頓更有影響力。
美聯社坦言,儘管還有票為計算,但預測芭芭拉兒芬頓會贏。
羅德島州選務人員在11月2日表示,羅德島州的第15選區包括4個克蘭斯頓小區,共有2503張郵寄選票,以及1794張提早投票的選票,完成投遞。
一旦馬蒂耶洛落選,意味著羅德島州的政治景觀將大為改變,因為眾議會議長是州政府中最有力量的政治職位,在州政府預算制定過程中,對州長有巨大影響力,
選區在Warwick的羅德島眾議會多數黨領袖,民主黨籍的K. Joseph Shekarchi,估計會接替馬蒂耶洛,擔任羅德島州眾議會議長。
芭芭拉安芬頓和馬蒂耶洛在政見上並無太大分歧。兩人都反對墮胎,支持警察要穿戴攝像機,不確定是否應該讓大麻合法化,贊成廢除車稅,支持學校及企業。不過芭芭拉安芬頓讓選民相信,她可以為羅德島州帶動新氣象。

Governor Baker Nominates Justice Dalila Argaez Wendlandt to the Supreme Judicial Court
Governor Baker Nominates Justice Dalila Argaez Wendlandt to the Supreme Judicial Court
Dalila Argaez Wendlandt. (By Chutze) |
“Justice Dalila Argaez Wendlandt is an intelligent and hard-working jurist whose attitude and determination will serve her and all those that come before her on the Court well,” said Governor Baker. “Her knowledge of the law and unique professional background will be a much needed asset to the Supreme Judicial Court and I look forward to her confirmation.”

“First as an engineer and then as an attorney, Justice Wendlandt has chosen careers where women are underrepresented and is a role model for women and girls across the Commonwealth,” said Lt. Governor Polito. “She will bring a voice to the judiciary that we need now more than ever and I look forward to the consideration of the Governor’s Council in her appointment.”
The Supreme Judicial Court is the Commonwealth's highest appellate court, consisting of the Chief Justice and six Associate Justices. The seven Justices hear appeals on a broad range of criminal and civil cases from September through May and issue written opinions that are posted online.
About Justice Dalila Wendlandt:
Dalila Wendlandt, Associate Justice, was appointed to the Appeals Court by Governor Charlie Baker in July of 2017. Since her appointment, she has authored over 30 decisions. She served on the SJC Advisory Committee on the Rules of Evidence and is the Appeals Court liaison to the Probate and Family Court. Justice Wendlandt has also sat on several internal committees geared towards supporting the infrastructure of the Court – the Case Management Committee, the IT Steering Committee and the Policies and Procedures Committees.
Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, to parents who had immigrated from Colombia, Justice Wendlandt graduated from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 1991 with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering in 1993. While at MIT, she designed, manufactured and developed the non-collocated control of a climbing robot. She then earned her Juris Doctor degree, with highest honors, from Stanford University Law School in 1996, where she was an article editor of the Stanford Law Review.
Upon graduation, Justice Wendlandt clerked for the Honorable John M. Walker, Jr., of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. She joined the firm of Ropes & Gray LLP in 1997, eventually becoming a partner in the Intellectual Property Litigation Group of that firm. Her practice focused on counselling clients in such diverse industries as semiconductor manufacturing, medical devices and pharmaceuticals, with particular emphasis on electro-mechanical devices and controls algorithms, regarding patent and trade secret misappropriation litigation. Her active trial and litigation practice included a successful appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court challenging a federal statute on constitutional grounds. She was also active in the firm's administration, particularly with regard to hiring and coordinating the firm's summer associate program. She also served on the firm’s flextime committee, assisting lawyers who desired flexible work arrangements.
Justice Wendlandt has published widely on the subject of patent law, writing in technical journals like Biotechnology Law Report to more popular publications such as Forbes. She has also lectured extensively at specialized seminars, bar associations and a law school. Justice Wendlandt assisted clients in pro bono activities such as requests for political asylum and a death row inmate's post-trial petitions. She also served as a Middlesex County Special Assistant District Attorney in two appellate matters.
