If Andrew Yang has it his way, U.S. Representative Stephen Lynch will not be representing Massachusetts's Eighth Congressional District next year.
The former Democratic presidential candidate, best known for his universal basic income proposal, gave the thumbs up to Dr. Robbie Goldstein, the only person still running against Lynch (D-South Boston) in the Democratic primary on September 1.
Two Massachusetts Democrats are running for a U.S. Senate seat, but it's hard to tell the difference between the two of them when it comes to issues.
Incumbent U.S. Senator Ed Markey and his primary challenger U.S. Representative Joseph P. Kennedy III generally agree on major policies. They support the Green New Deal, they're for single-payer health care, they want a federal minimum wage of at least $15 an hour, they support the Equality Act, and they have previously earned endorsements from Planned Parenthood.
