The Brockton City Councilor will be on a Democratic Primary ballot Thursday, Sept. 6
Last year at this time, Brockton City Councilor At-Large Robert Sullivan didn't know he'd be spending his summer knocking on doors in Easton and on the west side of Brockton. But, around the same time last winter, two unanticipated events occurred. Sullivan, a Brockton resident who had lived in the 9th Plymouth District (and had lost a State Rep Democratic Primary in that District in 2008 by 13 votes), found that his house had been redistricted to the 11th Plymouth. And, the State Rep representing the 11th Plymouth, Geraldine Creedon (D-Brockton) announced that she would not run, thus leaving an open seat on Beacon Hill. "I didn’t expect where I live to be taken out of the 9th Plymouth and put into the 11th Plymouth district," he said. "…

State Rep candidate Jass Stewart says he stands for the middle class.
Jass Stewart certainly isn't new to the Brockton political scene. The second term city councilor at-large ran two unsuccessful campaigns for mayor in 2005 and 2007 before a successful bid for city councilor in 2009. A Dallas native, he said one of his major challenges early on was proving he was committed to serving the city of Brockton - an area he had moved to and adopted as his home. Now a well-known face in the City of Champions, he is hoping to ensure the same trust in the residents of Easton. "I think I’ve demonstrated that there are advantages to moving to a place where I want to be," he said. "I’m going to bring that same philosophy to my work in the district for Easton. I’ve already started going to the meetings in Easton so I …

The Brockton City Councilor will throw his hat in the ring
Brockton City Councilor Jass Stewart (D-Brockton) officially announced his candidacy for State Rep in the 11th Plymouth District Sunday. Stewart, who said he was exploring the idea last month, said he made his decision when his son told him to "go for it." "Last week my son, Jajuan, left Brockton for Japan—his first tour of duty in the U.S. military," Stewart said in a statement. "Right before he left, I asked him what he thought about my possible run for State Rep. He said, 'Go for it. My job is to make sure people have the freedom to vote. Your job is to make sure they have a reason to vote.' With that said, I am proud to announce my candidacy for Massachusetts State Rep, serving Brockton and Easton. This will be one of the largest …
