Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The unofficial Hanover results from the primary election
held Tuesday are in, and they are as follows:
On the Democratic ballot, Governor Patrick and Lt. Governor
Murray, Attorney General Coakley and Sec’y of State Galvin were all
winners. In the contested races, Steven Grossman was the Democratic
winner for Treasurer, Suzanne Bump for State Auditor, and William Keating for
Representative in Congress. Hometown favorites Rhonda Nyman and Rick Pond
were also Hanover’s winners for State Representative and Sheriff,
respectively.
On the Republican side, Baker and Tisei will lead off the
ballot for Governor and Lt. Gov. in November. There was no name on the
ballot for the Republicans for Attorney General, but the write-ins were
numerous and are still being counted. In a hotly contested race for the
10th Congressional District, Jeffrey Perry won in all four precincts
in Hanover, and in another contested race, Korey Welch was the top vote-getter
for the 5th Plymouth District State Rep’s race here in
Hanover.
We took more Republican ballots than Democratic ballots in
Hanover this time around. Remember that votes are still being counted
around the state as I write this, so none of the contested races are final.
2,635 of us took the time to vote here in Hanover, which is a 29%
turnout. Primary turnouts are traditionally small, but Hanover voters
always seem to speak their minds in far greater numbers than most towns, and
this year was no exception.
Complete election results will be forthcoming.
