U.S. Representative Jake Auchincloss (D-Newton) wants to make sure he doesn't get primaried in 2022.
Auchincloss won a nine-way Democratic primary in the state's Fourth Congressional District last year with about 22 percent of the vote. Auchincloss is taking many steps to prevent being primaried next year as a result, as Politico reports.
U.S. Representative Ayanna Pressley (D-Dorchester) stood apart from her colleagues in the Massachusetts Congressional delegation on Thursday.
She was the only one of the nine Massachusetts members of the U.S. House of Representatives to vote against providing Israel with $1 billion for its missile defense system known as the Iron Dome.
