Vogler F or Saugus residents in Precincts 3 and 10 who will be voting in the Massachusetts State Primary next month, just two of the 12 offi ces on the ballot are contested. And in half of the races, there’s not even a Republican candidate running: Nobody for Essex County Sheriff or District Attorney. Nobody for the Governor’s Council. No Republican is challenging incumbent state Rep. Jessica Ann Giannino (D-Revere) for her Sixteenth Suff olk District seat. State Sen. Brendan P. Crighton (D-Lynn) will be re-elected without opposition. And the state Republican Party also lacks a candidate to run against state Treasurer Deborah B. Goldberg. Only two political races matter in the Republican primary, which is set for Tuesday, Sept. 6: MAKING HER DAY SPECIAL: Seven-year-old Jovie Theroux smiles at the volunteers behind the serving table after receiving her free dish of ice cream on Wednesday (Aug. 3) during an ice cream party held for participants of the Saugus Youth & Recreation Department summer camp.
