Congratulations Jonathan 'Boo and Vote' Cohn on your one-year anniversary leading Progressive Mass, and looking forward to attending the virtual PM gala on Sunday, April 28th! #mapoli

Progressive Mass But what I continue to love about Progressive Mass is the commitment to fostering a more informed and engaged public. A public that knows what candidates stand for, how elected officials are voting, and how and when to take action.

Progressive Mass I got to meet many people that year that I still know and organize with today. I’ve gotten much more involved over the years (that’s what happens when you are a volunteer who comes back!).

Progressive Mass PM's scorecard was also where I turned to learn more about all the state legislators whose names I was hearing for the first time since PM’s scorecard showed how legislators were voting on key issues.

Progressive Mass And PM chapters were the hosts of the cycle’s best candidate forums as well since they were willing to ask hard questions and follow up when candidates didn’t want to answer.

Progressive Mass 2014 was also a big year for Massachusetts elections, as we had a number of open and contested statewide races. PM -- with its robust, multi-issue, published questionnaires -- was where I went to learn more about the candidates and where they stood on issues that mattered to me.

Progressive Mass Back then, in 2014 (yes, 2014 was a decade ago -- can you believe it?), I was new to Massachusetts but wanted to get more involved.

Yesterday (4/12) marked the ten-year anniversary of when I first became a member of Progressive Mass.

To understand the GLX, you need to understand there really was no “urban design.” There was a written contract with minimum, utilitarian requirements, and once the “design-build” entity was selected, their objective was to meet those requirements in the cheapest way possible.…
