Will Jon Mitchell throw his hat into the race for governor?
The Dmeocrat and mayor of New Bedford won't say.
CORRECTION (noon Saturday, December 18, 2021): A previously published version of this story stated that Ken Sweezey, a Republican candidate for state representative, supports legal abortion. After the story was published, Mr. Sweezey contacted NewBostonPost to say that that description was inaccurate. On Saturday, asked by telephone by an editor what his position on abortion is, Mr. Sweezey responded: "I accept that Roe v. Wade is precedent. It's the law of the land. Abortion is not a focal point of my campaign. I believe that there are more pressing issues in my district. My campaign is focused mainly on economic issues post-pandemic."
