Page 2 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, AUGUST 16, 2024 UNCONTESTED| FROM PAGE 1 Wong, who has represented Saugus since 2011, has faced no opposition during the last two (2020 and 2022) elections. State Rep. Jessica Ann Giannino (D-Revere) – whose 16th Suffolk District includes Precincts 3 and 10 in Saugus – also faces no opposition in the primary or the general election this year. She was uncontested in winning reelection two years ago. She has been a state representative since 2020. State Sen. Brendan P. Crighton (D-Lynn) also has no opposition. He’s been a state senator since 2018. Barring the emergence of write-in candidates in all three races, Saugus voters can expect to see the three legislators represent them on Beacon Hill for two more years. During a political campaign season that features a presidential election in November, registered voters in Saugus have limited choices this year. There are only two contests to be decided by residents voting in the Democratic Primary on Sept. 3. Incumbent Essex County Clerk of Courts Thomas H. Driscoll Jr. of Swampscott faces James F.X. Doherty, of Salem, a former Beverly city councillor-at-large. Driscoll seeks his fifth six-year term. The Republican ballot for next month’s primary has no candidate listed for the Clerk of Courts office. In the race for Registry of Deeds for the Essex Southern District, Eileen R. Duff, a Gloucester resident and current Governor’s Councillor, faces opposition in the Democratic Primary from Joseph Michael Gentleman III, of Peabody. The winner will face Jonathan Edward Ring of Rockport, who has no opposition in the Republican Primary. John O’Brien retired last December after 47 years at the Southern Essex Registry of Deeds, citing health reasons. Dorothy Hersey, who has worked for 19 years in the Southern Essex Registry Office, was appointed to complete O’Brien’s six-year term. She did not seek the office. Lawrence A.
