Six years ago, a former local politician took on a new role: providing conservatives in the most left-leaning state in the country a printed outlet to get news and express their opinions.
Lonnie Brennan, the 60-year-old publisher of The Boston Broadside, a monthly conservative print newspaper, is a former Georgetown selectman. Before that he served for eight years on the school committee in Salem, where he grew up. He was a two-time candidate for state representative in the 18th Essex District, in 2006 and 2008.
This upcoming January, the Massachusetts Congressional delegation will look slightly different.
That's because it will no longer include U.S. Representative Joseph P. Kennedy III (D-Newton). When the 177th Congress begins January 3, 2021, Kennedy won't be in it.
