a couple of notes on the Worcester preliminary election

 Hey, Worcester, we're having a preliminary election! You can even vote in it right now! 

First, please note that there is not a preliminary election for at-large School Committee, so while I appreciate the support, please don't think you're going in to vote for me this week or on September 5. Save that for November 7th!

There is a preliminary election in one of the new Worcester School Committee districts: District E. There are three candidates: 

• Nelly Medina
• John Patrick Reed
• Kathleen Roy
  

District E runs along much of the southern border of the city, like so:

Find that full map here. As always, you can find out what district you're in here.

You can view the one forum for this district (which Roy did not attend) here (Nicole's liveblog here); Medina and Reed were also at the Community Labor Forum earlier this month. 

Neal McNamara is posting responses to his questions; thus far he has ones from Reed and from Roy; [update] and now here's Medina.

There are also preliminary elections in City Council districts 1, 2, 4, and 5 (all but 3, in other words). 

I think it's probably good for people to know that one of the candidates in District 1 apparently doesn't support a new Burncoat High, one of the candidates in District 2 is combining the cost overrun of the ballpark with the pandemic-created (and at least partly state covered) increased cost of the new Doherty, and this whole mess is in support of one of the District 5 challengers.

Go vote!
