Democratic Sen. Lydia Edwards and Republican nominee for attorney general Jay McMahon debated the issues during a WBZ-TV debate over the weekend. Here's what they said:
Democrat Sen. Lydia Edwards and Republican nominee for attorney general Jay McMahon are on opposite sides of Question 4, which will ask voters in November whether they want to keep or repeal a new state law that would allow Massachusetts residents who are old enough to apply for a state driver's license, regardless of their immigration status in the country. Edwards endorsed a 'yes' vote to keep the law and McMahon argued for a 'no' vote to repeal it.
The Legislature passed the law over Gov. Charlie Baker's veto and opponents easily gathered more than enough signatures to give voters the opportunity to repeal the policy on the November ballot. The Republican Party and some of its statewide candidates like McMahon expect that the repeal effort will gin up enthusiasm for their campaigns.
Between the license law repeal effort that's underway and Martha's Vineyard's role in what has become an ongoing national news storyand practices of some Republican governors like Ron DeSantis in Florida, immigration policy has been thrust into the Bay State conversation weeks out from the Nov. 8 statewide elections.
