Boston Globe: Special election for former speaker DeLeo’s seat will test appetite for progressive politics

Emma Platfoff, “Special election for former speaker DeLeo’s seat will test appetite for progressive politics,” Boston Globe (2/28/21)

Progressive Massachusetts, along with Pressley, Sanders, and the Massachusetts Teachers Association, have backed 27-year-old Juan Jaramillo.

“Replacing Bob DeLeo with someone who’s a progressive Latino labor organizer is a powerful statement about moving forward — both for how people understand that district, and valuable for the politics of the building,” said Jonathan Cohn, elections committee chair for the group. “This is a major opportunity for an upgrade.”
