By happy coincidence, I—engorged on delicious burger and waffle fries from Boxford’s Community Kitchen—ran into Connor Murray holding his office hours on Elm Street on Saturday. We’re so happy to have him as our candidate for the upcoming election to the State House! He has a number of office-hour events scheduled across 18th Essex—check our calendar.

Anyway, here’s this week’s redux newsletter.

We have the dumbest editorials!

This one has little of the snarkiness that, apparently, annoyed or confused some of the usual MAGA snowflakes. One guy castigated us for posting last week’s editorial anomymously, on Republican fund-raising practices and the local dupes who fall for them. He noted that it was “one of the dumbest editorials” he’d ever read. Very discerning reader, I guess. I can’t speak to the intellectual aspect—I’m sure we’re all dumb in this guy’s mental universe—but I’ve hardly made it a secret that I’m the writer these newsletters or that I’m a Democrat or that my name is Christian Schoenberg or that I reside in Boxford. I’m sure we’re all enriched by having such eloquent, witty, and outspoken Republicans in town! Thanks for reading. buddy!

The rest is a story for another day.

Drinks with Dems

Quick note: Don’t forget Drinks with Tri-Town Dems on Thursday, July 16 at 4:30 p.m. at Alfalfa Farms Cellars! I will be wearing our new BoxfordDems t-shirt and a red carnation!

Projects coming up

And we have a couple of exciting projects (including an informational ballot initiative) and a couple of events coming up for which we just need to nail down some final dates (a task made immeasurably easier by our regional Calendar)!
