Sarah Hewins, Town of Carver Selectman

How Do I Vote With a Sticker for Sarah?

The process is almost the same as voting for a candidate who is listed on the ballot:
Whether you vote on election day at the polls, or by early voting, or by mail, you'll receive the same paper ballot.
Under the section titled "REPRESENTATIVE IN GENERAL COURT" you'll see a single name listed for "John Gaskey" of Carver. Please don't vote for him.
Instead, in the space below that says "WRITE IN SPACE ONLY," paste in your sticker and fill in the oval next to that space, like this:
Please do not use your own stickers!!! If you don't have an "official" sticker from Sarah, just write Sarah in: Sarah G. Hewins 52 Forest St., Carver.

The "official" stickers are specially-designed not to jam voting machines. When you paste your sticker on the ballot, press it down well and stay away from the edge of the ballot.

We'll be mailing out stickers before the election, and you should get some before the start of early voting on October 19th. Each mailing will have three stickers for you.
If you don't get your stickers in the mail, or if you want more than three stickers for your friends and family, then you may use this form to request stickers and we'll mail them to you when they're available.
We'll also have stickers for you at the polls on election day (just look for the people holding the "Elect Sarah" signs). Keep in mind that we legally have to be at least 150 feet from the polls, so drop by and pick up the stickers before you go in to vote!

Like most people, Sarah assumed that Susan Gifford would win her primary and appear on the ballot. Susan has served her constituents well for many years.
While it's true that Sarah has had disagreements with Susan over some policies, Susan and Sarah are in agreement on many important issues: the environment, seniors, children, veterans, affordable housing, and our local economy. That is why Sarah did not run in the primary and why she is not on the ballot.
Instead, Susan was "primaried" by John Gaskey, an extreme candidate who unfairly misrepresented Susan's positions and accomplishments.
Gaskey is against many bedrock issues that both Sarah and Susan support. He has no accomplishments, minimal experience in Carver's government, and no apparent knowledge of the rest of the district at all. Gaskey is simply not capable of representing the people of the 2nd Plymouth district.
Sarah felt strongly that she couldn't allow an unqualified candidate selected by a very small portion of the electorate—about 6% of registered voters—to ruin our district. All of the voters of the 2nd Plymouth district should have the opportunity to choose their next Representative.
That's why Sarah is running as a write-in candidate.
