For the first time in six years, the voters of the Fourth District have a contested Democratic primary — and a real choice to make.

So I’ve invited Rep. Jake Auchincloss to a series of public debates across the district, so voters can see the two of us side by side and judge that choice for themselves.

A primary belongs to the voters. There is a genuine contrast between us — on Medicare for All, on getting corporate and PAC money out of our politics, on ending the blank checks for foreign wars, and on warrantless mass surveillance. You deserve to weigh that contrast in person, in your own community.

Jake, I hope you’ll join me.

For the first time in six years, MA-04 has a contested Democratic primary — a real choice to make.

There’s a genuine contrast between us — on Medicare for All, getting corporate and PAC money out of politics, ending the blank checks for foreign wars, and warrantless mass surveillance.

So I’ve invited Rep. Jake Auchincloss to debate. A primary belongs to the voters. Jake, let’s debate.

Notes

• Includes the four-issue contrast (Medicare for All, money out of politics, ending the blank checks for foreign wars, warrantless mass surveillance); no dates or venues in the copy (the carousel cards carry those). Matches the debate letter + June 15 press release (“first contested primary in six years,” “a primary belongs to the voters”).
• Length: the short version now runs ~410 characters — fine for Threads, Mastodon, and Facebook/IG, but over the limits for X (280) and Bluesky (300). For those, post it as a 2-part thread (invite + contrast) or move the contrast list into a reply.
• The Newton venue is confirmed; Attleboro (Bray Auditorium, Attleboro High) and Fall River (Nagle Auditorium, Durfee High) are proposed — the cards label them accordingly, so the post stays accurate if Auchincloss’s team negotiates.
• If a reply/quote-tweet of Auchincloss’s account is wanted, swap “Rep. Jake Auchincloss” for the campaign handle in the short version.
