HINGHAM, Mass. – For years, Jerry Grenier has reliably cast his ballot for Democrat Stephen F. Lynch, a political moderate who has been in the House since 2001.
But lately, the 73-year-old Grenier, a retired construction supervisor from Weymouth, a working-class suburb south of Boston, has gone cold on his congressman.
“I won’t be voting for Stephen Lynch,’’ declared Grenier, who joined dozens of protesters waving signs and ringing cowbells at an anti-Trump rally last month. “He did OK over the years. But it’s a whole new world with this regime in the White House, and in my opinion, Stephen Lynch, like a lot of Democrats, [isn’t] standing up to the gravity of the time.”
