Summary
Massachusetts politics is heating up not with policy clashes, but with a debate dodge drama—candidates are trading radio ads and accusations over who’ll show up to face off. While frontrunners often avoid debates to stay ahead, voters, especially GOP primary folks, want to see candidates squaring off to vet them under pressure. Seth Moulton’s push for debates against Ed Markey and other challengers calling out incumbents for skipping forums highlight the tension. The Sixth District stands out as a rare success story, where six Democrats actually held a productive forum—proving that when candidates show up, voters get real value.
