TOXIC CUGNO RUNNING TERRIBLE CAMPAIGN
11 of 15 candidates a disaster for Mrs. Cugno

Given Cugno's prominence on the school committee and a soccer 501c3, the failed 2017 council candidate is sinking even lower into the muck of her own making.

___________________________________ WHAT THE PRIMARY MEANS -
AN ESSAY from Joe Viglione

Erin DiBenedetto is the big winner tonight. The Council President, Falco, and Vice President Marks were expected to score high.

Natalie Nat Breen and Jean Nuzzo also come up big.

All due respect to Andy Castagnetti but this writer had picked Andy to come in at #15. I did receive a text from him today urging me to vote, which we can file under: too little too late.

At 9:18 pm we ran with the story, the Medford Patch clocked in at 9:34 pm, so we scooped the Patch - again - by 16 minutes, a lifetime on an election night. https://patch.com/massachusetts/medford/medford-preliminary-election-results-live-updates





I HAD PICKED CASTAGNETTI TO LOSE.
CALL ME PSYCHIC, OR JUST PLUGGED IN BUT CASTAGNETTI FORCED THE PRIMARY ...AND I'M GLAD HE DID.

WE GET A SNAPSHOT OF HOW MEDFORD RESIDENTS WHO CARE ENOUGH TO VOTE IN A PRIMARY WILL VOTE IN THE GENERAL ELECTION.
