Prime Roxbury the Turning Point in Quirk McNamara Fight
The Democrats in Roxbury and surrounding wards hold caucuses to choose delegates for councillor, congressional, State, senatorial and county conventions. Contests across wards 2 through 19 shape the race between Quirk and McNamara, with Rourke, Fitzgerald and Donovan also in play. Most expect Quirk to gain the Roxbury backed seats while McNamara targets South Boston and Ward 8, and Ward 19 remains highly unsettled as other factions vie for control.
