This is an easy one. The LGBT community needs to make sure Rep. Carl
Sciortino wins his re-election fight to hold onto his 34th Middlesex
District seat, which includes portions of Somerville and Medford. When
Sciortino was first elected in 2004 his victory was seen as a
David-and-Goliath story symbolic of the strength of the marriage
equality movement; he was a young openly gay man running a grassroots
campaign who unexpectedly and narrowly defeated Vincent Ciampa, a
16-year incumbent who strongly opposed marriage equality. But once
Sciortino took office he soon showed the LGBT community that he was
more than just a symbol.
