Page 2 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, AUGUST 30, 2024 This weekend and throughout the year, we celebrate all those who work to make our community better. ELECTION | FROM PAGE 1 in two Essex County political races. Incumbent Essex County Clerk of Courts Thomas H. Driscoll Jr., of Swampscott, faces James FX Doherty, of Salem, a former Beverly city councilor-at-large. Driscoll seeks his fi fth six-year term. The Republican ballot for next week’s primary has no candidate listed for the Clerk of Courts offi ce. So voters will have a chance to determine who sits in the clerk’s seat for the next six years. 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 Offi ce, was appointed to complete O’Brien’s six-year term. She did not seek the offi ce.

A week of In-Person Early Voting in the Saugus Public Library’s Community Room concludes today, Friday, Aug. 30 (8:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.). Voters should enter the Taylor Street entrance at 295 Central St. There are seven positions on the ballots for Tuesday’s primary for the Democratic, Republican and Libertarian parties. But the choice of candidates is limited in next week’s election, particularly for the three state legislators who represent Saugus. State Rep. Donald H. Wong (R-Saugus) will not face competition for another two-year term in the Ninth Essex District in the state primary. And nobody is seeking to challenge him in the general election. 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 re100 Salem Turnpike, Saugus, MA 01906 WINWASTESAUGUS.COM election 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. U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Salem) faces no competition in next month’s primary and has no ballot opposition from Republican candidates in the general election. He has served the Sixth Congressional District since 2015. Terrence W. Kennedy, of Lynnfield, who has served Precinct Polling Locations 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 as the District Six representative on the Governor’s Council since 2011, faces no opposition in the Democratic Primary. There are no Republican candidates on the primary election ballot. The Libertarian Party has no candidates listed for the U.S. Senate, U.S. Representative, Governor’s Councillor, state Senate, state House of Representatives, Essex County Clerk of Courts or Registry of Deeds of the Essex Southern District. As of Aug. 7, there were 22,154 total registered voters in Saugus. That included 4,928 Democrats, 2,110 Republicans, 14,852 unenrolled and 59 Libertarians.
