Undecided/Don’t know

Now, we are going to provide you with some more information about each of the candidates.

Will Brownsberger is President Pro Tempore of the Massachusetts Senate, where he has served since 2012. Throughout his time in office, he’s worked to deliver funding for our district, stand up to Donald Trump, improve transparency on Beacon Hill, protect pensions, and work with Governor Healey to lower costs for Massachusetts families.

Daniel Lander is a progressive Democrat who previously worked for Boston Mayor Michelle Wu. Lander is running because Beacon Hill is out of touch with the needs of residents in our community, who are facing skyrocketing costs on everything from rent to groceries. He is endorsed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, and a number of unions.
