poll: Who Should Replace Kerry in the U.S. Senate?

Monday, February 18, 2013

 

Who Should Replace Kerry in the U.S. Senate?

  •     346 vote - Congressman Ed Markey (D)
  •     120 vote - Former US Attorney Michael Sullivan (R)
  •     68 vote - Congressman Stephen Lynch (D)
  •     23 vote - Investment Banker Gabriel Gomez (R)
  •     22 vote - State Rep. Dan Winslow (R)
  •     7 vote - Businessman Sean Bielat (R)

As time winds down to the U.S. Senate special election this June, the field of candidates is shaping up, and it's now clear that both Republicans and Democrats will be competing in contested primaries for the nomination this spring. GoLocal wants to know who you want to see succeed newly-minted Secretary of State John Kerry to represent the Commonwealth in the upper house of Congress.

On the Democratic side, both U.S. Rep. Ed Markey (D-Malden) and U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-South Boston) have committed to the contest, and the two are already beginning to hash out a debate schedule before the April 30 primary.

Republicans got off to a late start putting forth a candidate, but now they seem to have plenty of choices. State Rep. Dan Winslow (D-Norfolk) and businessman and former Navy SEAL Gabriel Gomez of Cohasset have formally announced their candidacies. In addition, usinessman and former Congressional candidate Sean Bielat filed papers with the Federal Election Commission to establish a Senatorial campaign committee, and former U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan has said he will run if he can collect enough signatures by the Feb. 27 deadline.
