Boston Representative proposes direct popular election of U S senators
Representative Leonard of Boston introduces a bill to allow people to nominate United States Senators while preserving the General Court’s right to elect. The plan routes nominations through party conventions or nomination papers, and ballots would require a cross against preferred nominees with returns sent to the General Court. A referendum would put the measure before voters next November. The author cites public dissatisfaction with caucus selection and argues broader citizen input would influence representation.
