In the news

The newest stories that name Boston’s board members or legislators in the headline or opening, from free news outlets (see the list). Headlines appear as each outlet published them; MassVoter does not write, choose or rate them. Each person’s page lists more.

Disclosure: MassVoter’s founder, Michael Silvia, is the publisher of Fall River Reporter and New Bedford Guide.

Ballot quizzes use only the candidates’ own words and the official Information for Voters guide. City Council votes come from the Boston City Clerk’s official minutes; State House votes from the Massachusetts Legislature’s roll calls. MassVoter never grades officials or endorses anyone; votes and attendance are shown exactly as the minutes record them. Councilor photos: City of Boston (boston.gov), from the official headshots on the City Council page. Former councilors show initials.
