• With a tiny gap in votes between Brownsberger and Lander, both candidates prepare for recount (wgbh.org) — Watertown voters are part of a razor-thin Suffolk & Middlesex state Senate race where incumbent William Brownsberger and challenger Daniel Lander are separated by only a handful of votes, prompting preparations for a recount. With provisional ballots still outstanding and both campaigns gearing up, the final outcome could influence how closely the Legislature aligns with Boston Mayor Michelle Wu's agenda.
