Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker s COVID-19 vaccine rollout continues to disappoint, and it could cost him his job next year. Baker s response to the pandemic has been questionable, but his plan for distributing the vaccine is just plain miserable.

Former state Senator Ben Downing was raised in Pittsfield, and spent a decade on Beacon Hill before moving to the renewable energy sector in 2017. As the first Democrat to throw his hat in the ring for 2022, Berkshire County party activists say there is symbolism to Downing getting in first.
“Ben is young, exciting, energetic. He really understands the need for green energy and climate change. Most of all, he really understands about and wants to make sure that the people who have been left behind, it s a really wide group of people, that they need to be, their needs need to be attended to. They need to be shown that government can do well. And frankly, the race really is going to be about jobs, justice, and health care.
