At the last DFA-Boston meeting we discussed the special election for state representative happening tomorrow in Somerville. As many of you recall, former Somerville state Rep Pat Jehlen was promoted to the state Senate in a special election a few months ago. Tomorrow's election is for her replacement.

Progressive Democrats of Somerville, the DFA group in Somerville, overwhelmingly voted to endorse Someville Alderman-at-Large Denise Provost. Last week, those present voted that DFA-Boston should join PDS in supporting Denise Provost. PDS members helped out a lot on one of our special elections last year, for Tim Schofield. They need our help now!

Denise needs volunteers all day tomorrow, until polls close at 8pm. In special elections like this, very few people vote, except those who we remind to vote. We need people to make phone calls, go door to door, and get out the vote. If you volunteer, you'll be calling or visiting Denise Provost supporters only! These are not "cold calls" - these are only people who have already said they support Denise, and we just need to make sure they vote.

If you can volunteer, please call the campaign at 617-625-3500 and let them know. The campaign office is at 259 Elm Street, next door to Diesel Cafe in Davis Square, on the 3rd floor. I'll be there all day, either at the office or out knocking on doors, and I hope to see some of you during the day or at the election night party.
