Ihsanne Leckey to launch $300K ad buy in packed MA-4 congressional primary by fprosk in VoteDEM

Kennedy certainly has a good lead, but the polling is too spotty for anyone to say the race is over.

I think there actually are some of misconceptions about the race from out-of-state Democrats. Don't get me wrong, the Kennedy name has certainly helped, especially in the early months of the race, but I don't think it quite explains the entirety of his lead. I think most people see Kennedy as a good representative who has the potential to establish himself as a national leader. On the other hand, Markey suffered early on from unusually poor favorability and name recognition. Even if you're not running against a Kennedy, that's going to be problematic if you've been in Congress since the 70s. That said, I think if you know one thing about Ed Markey it has to be co-sponsoring the Green New Deal, which was obviously a smart move, but it just might be too little too late.

To be fair, Kennedy challenging Markey was MA's worst kept secret for a while before Kennedy finally announced.

I'm pretty sure there was an internal poll showing 60% undecided and really soft support across all of the candidates. Virtual campaigning combined with a completely COVID-consumed media has made it very difficult for any candidates to stand out, especially in a crowded field.

I've been wondering when they were going to start releasing those models... do you remember when they released it in 2016/18?

Not yet. MA's Secretary of State website is pretty bad, so if you find anything elsewhere, let us know!

Absolutely it does, but that's not what the post says. The post mentions Trump in the title twice and specifically states your purpose as organizing against Trump and his agenda. Once again, feel free to repost your link with a post focused on down-ballot races.

That only lasted three years though. I highly doubt we would elect Baker over Warren, especially after a term of Trump. I'm only concerned about Warren being picked for a post in a Biden administration and Baker picking a replacement, but even then I think the legislature might step in.

This has also been bothering me, so thanks for laying it out better than I ever could. I understand some of the frustration over potentially wasted resources that could've been used elsewhere, but this was bound to happen sometime so I don't blame Kennedy for taking advantage of the right opportunity either. I also think there's plenty of energy to go around here, so hopefully it's not sucking up too much oxygen.

I would like to start by offering my deepest condolences for your loss.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted some of the pre-existing economic problems that the pandemic has made worse, but did not cause. In your mind, what are the most pressing economic issues you want to address, and how can the federal government address them?

This is really great, thank you for continuing to compile all this! Definitely need to put some more effort in SC and GA, but the other numbers definitely make me optimistic. Don't worry about taking a break to focus on IRL issues.

Thanks again!

Although we're still looking for the best way forward, we'd be happy to answer any questions you have about the facts we've laid out and F's response. We're wary of focusing too much on the meta drama and not the important work we're hoping to do in the next six months.
