The MA Dem Primary Season is Underway!

Last week, 25 Massachusetts state legislators were named Theocrats of the Week for their co-sponsorship of a bill that would require teachers and any other school official to get permission from parents in order to discuss homosexuality -- and a host of other matters in school.

State Rep. Paul Donato (D-Medford) apparently couldn't take the heat and dropped his sponsorship (and lost his award to boot) Too late! He has already drawn a primary challenger for September: Cos, at Blue Mass Group reports:  

Patrick McCabe was born in neighboring Somerville, to a working class family; his grandparents were in Medford. He worked three jobs growing up, then went to West Point because "I wanted to go somewhere where they teach leadership." After graduating, he served seven years in the Army, as a Ranger and then a company commander in the 101st Airborne in Kosovo. He went on tour with his wife in the USO, entertaining the troops for a couple of years, before returning to Medford. He now works as Organizing and Communications Director for SEIU local 1984.

McCabe is running to support health care, higher education, and other things important to working families. He is pro-choice, pro-[marriage] equality and supports funding stem cell research.
