Another Crucial 2020 Primary-- Meet MoDar In Massachusetts
Massachusetts' 8th district starts at Beacon Hill and downtown Boston and heads south-- into South Boston, the heart of the district, and into the suburbs and small towns south of the city-- many of them more blue collar than other Boston suburbs. The 8th includes Milton, Braintree, Quincy, Weymouth, Brockton, and Bridgewater before swinging west into Dedham, Walpole and north to Jamaica Plain. It's a very Irish district and a very Democratic one. The PVI is D+10, the third bluest in the state. Obama won both times, 59-39% against McCain and 58-41% against Romney.
