Two of the three* Newton residents running for governor — Steve Grossman and Don Berwick — failed to move on to the November general election yesterday but both ran thoughtful, engaging campaigns and have plenty to be proud of. I think it’s particularly unfortunate that Grossman not only doesn’t get a shot at being our next governor but also won’t be our state treasurer next year. As a community we should be honored that both men chose to call our city home.

 

*The third candidate, Evan Falchuk, is running as an United Independent Party candidate.
