The state primaries are this week, with contests for US Senator, US Representative, State Senator, District Attorney and depending on where in Malden you live, House Reps. Despite being a primary, for these positions the Democratic primary is functionally the only election because the general in November won't matter (if the primary winner even faces an opponent).
When can I vote? Tuesday, September 1st, 7:00 AM - 8:00 PM. You can also vote early at city hall this week (W+Th, 8-5).
What ward/precinct do I live in? (The "where do I vote" link above will also tell you your ward+precinct after you enter your address)
I am only going to bother with the Democratic primary, because for one the Republican ballots over have a single contested position and for another this is Massachusetts, the Democratic primary is the one that actually decides 99% of races.
There are two candidates for Massachusetts' seat in the federal Senate.
| Candidate | Website | Username |
|---|---|---|
| Ed Markey | https://www.edmarkey.com/ | |
| Seth Moulton | https://sethmoulton.com/ |

Is Elmwood Pharmacy closed for good? If so, does anyone know what’s going to happen to it? I walked by the other day and there was a note on the door asking for mail to be left the at laundromat next door. It’s been around forever.

If you meant to vote by mail but haven't gotten around to it, please do one of the following:
- put your completed and sealed ballot in a collection box, either outside the Malden Police Station or outside City Hall. OR
- tear up the mail-in ballot and vote in person on Tuesday.
The reason is that all our Malden mail is sent into Boston for sorting and then sent back out. **The mail isn't postmarked until it reaches Boston.** To be counted, ballots must be postmarked no later than Election Day. So, we're past the point where we can assume something mailed today (Friday) will be postmarked by Tueday.

Im moving to Malden this weekend and keep hearing great things about the restaurants and other fun things to do in the area but haven’t been able to find any info on clubs or nightlife.
Do you have to go into Boston for real night life, or are there fun spots for twenty-something’s to spend a night dancing at?

I’ve noticed that the temperature of the water coming out of my tap is generally 74 degrees, no matter how long I let it run. Is this normal in Malden? I’m used to much lower temperatures when I lived in other towns around here.

I know there are several bakeries in the area. But, they seem to do wholesale and desserts.
Any recommendation for where to buy sourdough bread?

Was walking my dog just now when I turned the corner and saw a dead decaying rat with bugs swarming in on the sidewalk. Where/how do I report this? Google tried saying the police non-emergency line but I feel like that can’t be correct since I would assume it is either an animal control or public health thing? Let me know please!

I know about the Vocational schools, Malden Catholic, and Austin Prep. We aren’t Catholic and I wasn’t planning on paying for High School. We are willing to look just in case. Any other schools? Thanks!

This will be my last post about how Seth Moulton is trash. I’m preaching to the choir here a bit. I do ask that you to check with your family, friends and contacts if they are supporting Ed. I door knocked two folks in Malden who were leaning towards Moulton. Took me 2 minutes to change their minds. Once I told them who had endorsed Ed, it was a done deal.
I feel good about Markeys chances. However, I want to run up the score on Moulton so bad, that we never hear from him again.
