We’re on a July/World Cup newsletter break until August but here’s a brief breakdown of last week and our upcoming events.

Drinks with Dems

Thanks to all the many Boxford Democrats who showed up for last Thursday’s event at Alfalfa Farms Cellars!

The BoxfordDems and our wonderful MiddletonDems neighbors met for our second event at Alfalfa Farm Cellars in Topsfield. We had some 26 people showing up and special appearances by Dan Koh, candidate for Massachussetts Sixth District in the U.S. House of Representatives and Connor Murray, our 18th Essex candidate for the State House.

The staff is incredibly accommodating and nice, and we donated a BoxfordDems shirt to one of the proprietors. We’ll be back there on August 20 at 4:30 p.m.

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

Wondering About Ballot Initiatives?

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.

Q

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)!
