Off and running in Suffolk race

First Suffolk House candidate Carlo Basile has his web site up and running, and -- except for several typos -- it looks like the most accessible of the four announced candidates so far. I like the easy access to voter information that the site provides, and I applaud that state campaign finance regulations are noted on the page soliciting contributions. The Basile campaign has a pair of upcoming fundraisers scheduled.

A comment posted recently on this blog notes that Gloribell Mota's web page is now up, though there is no information at the site as of this morning. Two readers posted comments over the weekend saying that Mota was knocking on doors in East Boston on Saturday. Boosting her name recognition might be key for her campaign.

Candidates Jeff Drago and Mary Berninger have each had their sites up for a bit. Drago's is currently in flux; Berninger's, like Basile's, has some information and photos. None of the sites have much information regarding the candidates' stands on issues. However, the date for this special election hasn't been announced yet, and I don't believe that Anthony Petruccelli, the outgoing holder of the 1st Suffolk seat, will even been sworn into his state senate seat until Wednesday.

Look for each of the candidates to be visible at Eastie's Italia Unita feast in two weeks.
