Summary
Djuna Perkins just won the Democratic nomination for Norfolk district attorney, edging out six rivals with 29% of the vote — a commanding lead over second-place finisher Adam Deitch. Now she’ll face independent Joe Pagliarulo in the general election, with no Republican opponent on the ballot. Her campaign ignited after explosive allegations surrounding the death of Sandra Birchmore, which her predecessor’s office declined to prosecute despite suspicions of foul play. That case mirrors the high-profile Karen Read trial, fueling demands for accountability across Massachusetts law enforcement. Perkins vows to overhaul youth programs and restore public trust — positioning herself as the reform candidate ready to end the era of controversy.
