On April 24, State Committee members voted unanimously to endorse and nominate current Becket Town Select Board member Michael Lavery as the GRP candidate for State Representative in the 3^rd Berkshire District. They also endorsed and nominated two experienced campaigners from Holyoke to run as a slate of nominees for statewide constitutional offices: Juan Sanchez will make his second consecutive bid to unseat the long-serving Secretary of the Commonwealth and Gloria Caballero Roca will contend for the open position as State Auditor. All three candidates gave remarkably cogent and issue-filled campaign speeches. 2022 promises to be an excellent year for Green-Rainbow electoral work in Massachusetts. Volunteers will have a wide variety of opportunities to participate in these campaigns.

In the months to come, be on the lookout for upcoming messages about how to join the slate nominating petitions signature-gathering effort, to make financial donations to the three candidates’ committees, and to put forth your own innovative ways of promoting our candidates and Green-Rainbow solutions to our state’s challenges.
