Latino voters key to incumbent’s victory in Lawrence, Massachusetts
“As supporters chanted ”four more years,” the entourage surrounding Mayor Michael J. Sullivan and celebrating his victory over Marcos Devers included a sizable number of Latinos who mixed in various Spanish shouts.
In this city of 72,000 where about half of the registered voters are Latino, Sullivan, a Republican, easily defeated the Dominican-born Devers, a Democrat seeking to become the first elected Latino mayor in Massachusetts. Sullivan’s 61 percent to 39 percent victory Tuesday came with the help of a significant number of Latino voters.”
