September 18, 2023 Boston had its turn last week. This Tuesday, several other Massachusetts cities and towns will whittle down their respective lists of officeholder hopefuls. Preliminary elections are scheduled in a baker's dozen of communities: Amesbury, Brockton, Everett, Fall River, Framingham, Gloucester, Lawrence, Melrose, Newburyport, Pittsfield, Revere, Salem and Westfield. Finalists in these contests will meet again in November's general election. Voters in Brockton have a chance to shake up city leadership, thanks to several incumbents' decisions not to seek re-election, according to The Brockton Enterprise .
