Last week, State Senator Daniel A. Wolf (D – Harwich) endorsed Sheila R. Lyons of Wellfleet in the Barnstable County Board of County Commissioners race.
This week Sen. Wolf issued a second endorsement for Mary L. (Pat) Flynn of Falmouth, who, like Ms. Lyons, is running for re-election to the county board.
“Commissioner Flynn has a distinguished record and she has been a driving force in moving the County forward on a number of key issues.” Sen. Wolf said in a press release. “Mary Pat is not afraid to take on difficult issues and bring people together to solve challenges…Mary Pat has served us well.”
Kind words, but really, it’s not surprising that Sen. Wolf would support two fellow Democrats.

The proposed debate between Falmouth’s Barnstable County Assembly of Delegates candidates Julia C. Taylor and Andrew V. Putnam is officially on.
The two candidates will participate in a debate that will be taped at the FCTV studio, with questions provided by yours truly. Jay Zavala, president of the Falmouth Chamber of Commerce, will moderate.
I mention this is part in the hope that it inspires other assembly candidates to follow suit. Delegates often bemoan the assembly’s lack of visibility, and events like these would be a nice step toward fixing that long-standing problem.
