• O'Brien Leads Plymouth County GOP Commissioner Primary With Five Towns Out (southshore.news) — Preliminary results show Anthony Thomas O'Brien Sr. leading the Republican primary for Plymouth County commissioner, but Hingham's votes are still outstanding and considered significant enough to keep the race uncalled. With several towns, including Hingham and Marshfield, yet to report fully, local residents could still influence which GOP candidate faces Democrat Rhonda Nyman in November.
   

• Rep. Steven Lynch trailed in Boston — then the suburbs rewrote the story (masslive.com) — Voters in Hingham backed challenger Patrick Roath in this week's 8th Congressional District Democratic primary, even as incumbent Rep. Stephen Lynch won the district overall and secured another term. The race highlighted a city-suburb split, with Roath strong in Boston and Hingham but Lynch dominating in larger nearby communities like Quincy, Weymouth, Brockton, and Braintree.
   

• OBITUARY: Robert 'Rip' Amontea (hinghamanchor.com) — Longtime Hingham resident and restaurateur Robert "Rip" Amontea, former owner of Amontea's on North Street, has died at 76.
