Holyoke Media, en asociación con WHMP radio, emiten diariamente la Síntesis informativa en español a través del 101.5 FM y en el 1240 / 1400 AM. Esta es la síntesis informativa del martes 8 de noviembre de 2022: Este martes 8 de noviembre, es el día de las elecciones del Estado de Massachusetts y a nivel federal, las cuales determinarán quienes ocuparán los cargos de gobernador y vicegobernador, procurador general, secretario de estado, tesorero, auditor, concejal de distrito, congresista federal, representante de estado, senador estatal, sheriff y fiscal de distrito, adicional a cuatro preguntas con potencial de crear o modificar legislación a nivel estatal. Las cuatro preguntas son: 1.- Aumento de los impuestos para las personas con ingresos altos, por encima de $1 millón de dólares al año. 2.- Reglamentación de los seguros dentales 3.- Ampliación de la disponibilidad de licencias para vender licores 4.- Permisos de conducir para inmigrantes Las urnas estarán abiertas de 7 am a 8 pm. A nivel nacional, la elección determinará qué partido político controla el Congreso. A pesar de la importancia de estas elecciones, según el secretario de estado, Bill Galvin pronostica que una participación prevista de 2,2 millones caería muy por debajo de los 2,7 millones de votos emitidos, o una participación del 60%, en 2018, la última vez que la oficina del gobernador estuvo en la boleta electoral. Había un tremendo sentido de obligación de votar”, dijo Galvin. “Ojalá pudiera decir que eso es cierto hoy aquí en Massachusetts, pero no lo es. La realidad es que, si observamos todas las oportunidades que brindamos a las personas para votar hasta ahora, no parece que en este momento haya un gran entusiasmo por esta elección”, señaló Galvin. Si no está seguro de en qué distrito se encuentra y dónde debe votar, puede visitar el sitio web del Secretario de Estado e ingresar la dirección en la que está registrado utilizando el formulario https://www.sec.state.ma.us/WhereDoIVoteMA/WhereDoIVote La oficina de la Secretaria Municipal de Holyoke y todos los trabajadores electorales trabajarán arduamente durante todo el día para garantizar que las elecciones se desarrollen sin problemas.

In the second segment, Adam is joined by Left of Center cofounder Mara Dolan and Jetpac head Mohammed Missouri to analyze Maura Healey's moderate pitch as she starts running for governor; how it could impact the other Democratic candidates' campaigns; and what, exactly, it means to be a “progressive” in Massachusetts politics in 2022.

1/20/2022--This week on The Horse Race, two big campaign announcements hit the news. First, it's the one we've been waiting on for months. Attorney General Maura Healey is running for Governor. She enters the race after much anticipation and speculation with a rate of name recognition and funding that dwarfs that of her competitors. Tanisha Sullivan, President of the Boston NAACP, announced her candidacy for Secretary of the Commonwealth. Bill Galvin, who has been in the position for almost three decades, has not yet announced whether he'll run again. Vaccine mandates for indoor businesses went into effect throughout Boston this past weekend. Jenn and Lisa talk about the Twitter conversations circulating among people who've experienced gaps in enforcement — some businesses don't check for vaccine proof, others do. Also recently implemented is the state's vaccine passport system which Massachusetts residents can use to access digital proof of their vaccination status. Issues remain with that program as well, like incomplete information for veterans and residents who received jabs out of state. Our guest this week is State House reporter for MassLive, Alison Kuznitz. She explains the state's decision to move away from their current test-and-stay program that allows asymptomatic students to stay in school so long as they test negative for five straight days. The plan is to replace it with a program wherein students receive at-home rapid tests on a biweekly basis.

9/18/19-- Fresh off the Massachusetts Democratic Convention, Steve and Stephanie have much to discuss. Stephanie covered the convention in Springfield for Politico, and there were a few things in particular that stood out to her. Namely, as pundits in Massachusetts and nationwide speculate on the implications of the potential Markey-Kennedy Senate matchup, there's someone already calling out the sitting Senator. Shannon Liss-Riordan, a Brookline labor attorney and official candidate running for Markey's seat is "doing the work for" Kennedy, Stephanie says. On stage at the convention, she called to get corporate money out of Washington, a not-so-subtle jab at Markey. Back on Beacon Hill, there's news coming from the Secretary of State's office, after Bill Galvin came out in support of an initiative petition that would effectively overhaul our primary elections system. Chris Lisinski of the State House News Service drops by to explain the situation, pointing out that while the proposed ballot question fell short of the Attorney General's constitutional review, that doesn't necessarily signal the end. If the lead sponsor successfully challenges the AG's decision, Massachusetts voters will be choosing whether to get rid of partisan primaries as we know them and instead install a system wherein the top two candidates in a race advance regardless of party. Finally, reporting from The Horse Race Western Mass bureau is Rich Parr, who's witnessed concerted effort from disparate communities throughout the region who've joined forces to advocate for better, more expansive transit. Sen. Eric Lesser spoke at a forum last week where he emphasized the connection between a lack of transportation and a lack of economic opportunity. Meanwhile, pilot programs spell potential for Western Mass's transit future. This is all while Boston-area transit has remained relatively untouched by state lawmakers after a summer of chaos.

Will this be a change election in Massachusetts? A lot of political energy has been unleashed in reaction to Donald Trump's election two years ago. Nationally, Democrats are hoping it will translate into big gains in the midterm congressional elections, with possibility of taking back control of the House. In Massachusetts, where Democrats already hold the overwhelming share of elected offices, that energy and the appetite for change is mostly playing out within Democratic primaries, with several longtime incumbents facing serious challenges for the first time in years. The two most prominent races are the 7th Congressional District, where 20-year incumbent Michael Capauno is being challenged by Boston City Councilor Ayanna Pressley, and the race for secretary of state, where 24-year incumbent Bill Galvin faces another Boston city councilor, Josh Zakim. CommonWealth colleagues Bruce Mohl, Jack Sullivan, and I explored what's going on here in a pre-primary installment of the Codcast.
