Pirate News: 2024 Election

Our state rep. candidate, Joseph Onoroski, First officer Steve and James talk about Tuesday’s election, how the legislature can rewrite any ballot questions that voters approve, freeing the McFlurry machines and why recent events demonstrate that adding backdoors to our communications is always a bad idea.

On election day, November 5th vote:

• Joe Onoroski, Pirate for 17th Middlesex;
• Yes on Ballot Questions 1-5. Check out our review video.

Polling Hours are 7 a.m. – 8 p.m.

Joe will be at the Reilly School, 115 Douglas Road, Lowell on election day. Come by to meet Joe and show your support!
