Revere resident Juan Jaramillo likely won't be the next state representative from the 19th Suffolk District in Massachusetts, but U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Dorchester) praised him nonetheless.
Jaramillo, the Bernie Sanders-endorsed candidate in the race and a former illegal immigrant, came in second place in the Democratic primary for the special election on Tuesday. He received 30 percent of the vote — 6.2 points behind the winner of the race. Former Winthrop Town Council President Jeff Turco, a pro-life Democrat who supported former President Donald Trump in 2016, won the race with 36.2 percent of the vote.
The state of New Hampshire had a positive development on the COVID-19 front on Tuesday.
It marked the third straight day that the state had no reported deaths from the virus. This marked the first time that was the case since the time from November 8 to November 10 last year, as WMUR reported.
