Erin Murphy to stay a Boston city councilor
Lisa Kashinsky reports Democratic voters in Suffolk County have picked Allison Cartwright, who has actual legal and managerial experience, as the next Suffolk County clerk of the Supreme Judicial Court.
Voters can now go back to not knowing or caring about the position, either for November, since there's no Republican candidate, or for as long as Cartwright chooses to keep the job - she will replace Maura Doyle, retiring after 30 years from the job.
Cartwright defeated at-large Boston City Councilor Erin Murphy, who was an elementary school teacher before winning election as an at-large city councilor, a job she will hold at least until the fall, 2025 elections.

Always remember the street sweepers
I'm glad this position won't go as a sinecure to a toady who once wanted to declare a "public health crisis" over street sweepers "spreading diseases" from the Mass and Cass corridor onto our fair City Upon a Hill. They say your portfolio is only as good as your worst work, and in my mind at least there was never any coming back from that ignominious incident.
