If you live it the city of Boston — or Brockton, Framingham, Gloucester, Haverhill, Lynn, Medford, Newton, Salem, or Somerville — it’s primary election day. One week later, on Sept. 21, preliminary elections will be held in Attleboro, Beverly, Everett, Fall River, Lawrence, and Newburyport.
The preliminary elections in each community determine two finalists to appear on the November 2 municipal ballot.

Watch the candidate forum on parks & open space
Read the park questionnaires for the candidates on the Boston Park Advocates website. The candidates were asked about equity, funding, resilience, and their personal connection to parks and community gardens.
No matter who wins, these mayors will have great influence on policies that impact open space, climate resilience, and landscapes large and small. If you live in a community with a primary this fall, please vote!
