The newest stories that name Braintree’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. Town Council votes come from the Braintree Town Council’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. Photos: Town of Braintree (Town Council page).
