McGonagle wins reelection in close race By The Advocate n a night of historic political upsets across the Commonwealth, Everett largely backed its incumbents, though by margins modest enough to suggest that a still ripening appetite for change does exist in the city. Two-term State Rep. Joseph McGonagle overcame a challenge by local activist Gerly Adrien for the 28th Middlesex State Representative seat by a 168-vote margin, netting 1,968 votes, or 42.17 percent, to her 1,800 votes, or 38.57 percent (a third candidate, former State Rep. Stat Smith, came in a distant third, winning only 893 votes or 19.13 percent). Local interest in the race was high, with only 108 blanks and six write-in votes cast. (For comparison, 470 blanks were cast in the Democratic primary for U.S. Congress between Ayanna Pressley and Michael Capuano, and 1,461 blanks and 79 write-ins were cast in the Democratic primary for Governor.) McGonagle called the race a “tough campaign� which has made him “a better State Representative�–“My opponents ran a great race and I applaud their efforts. I’m looking forward to continuing to deliver for the people
I
Joseph McGonagle State Representative
of Everett.� With such a showing, Adrien’s political future in the city looks bright; however, for the moment, Adrien stated, she has no immediate plans for another run, instead taking the time to focus on completing her master’s degree. She also expressed her gratitude to her voters and supporters. “Thank everyone for coming out and supporting me,� she said. Smith’s political life, on the other hand, appears to have had an end Tuesday night. In his first election since being forced to resign as State Rep. in 2013 after pleading guilty to a voter fraud
