Help Candidates NOW and Vote on Nov 5

The November 5, 2002 election will have a significant impact on the death penalty in Massachusetts. A number of our legislative allies, Democrats and Republicans, have pro-death penalty challengers. At the same time, there are several anti-death penalty legislators who are leaving the legislature. Redistricting has created some new legislative districts, as well. Below are anti-death penalty candidates with more than token challenges, beginning with Shannon O'Brien, the only major party gubernatorial candidate who is opposed to capital punishment.
