Vogler T here are just two reasons for Saugus residents to vote Republican in next Tuesday’s (Sept. 6) state primary election. Their only votes that matter would be to select the gubernatorial and lieutenant governor candidates in the Nov. 8 general election. The other 10 races on the ballot are uncontested. Five of them lack a Republican candidate – including in the Essex County races for District Attorney and Sheriff . The choices for voters selecting from the Democratic Party ballot are limited, too. Only six of the 12 offi ces are contested. And Attorney General Maura Healey doesn’t face opposition from Democratic challengers for governor after State Senator Sonia Rosa Chang-Díaz dropped out A TRIP TO HELP THE HEALING: Pictured from left to right are Joe Johnson, a Vietnam Era veteran who served in the U.S. Army, and U.S. Marine veteran Michael Arsenault, who received a Purple Heart during combat in Vietnam. They are among the 11 Saugus residents who will be visiting the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, D.C. See inside for more photos and story. (Saugus Advocate photo by Mark E.
