Suffolk DA Race Heats Up at Forum | Boston News

The Suffolk County DA race is turning into a firestorm as incumbent Kevin Hayden, former DA Rachael Rollins, and challenger Linda Champion clash in their first forum—each accusing the others of failure, misconduct, and lack of integrity. Rollins blasts Hayden for rising gun violence under his watch, while Hayden counters with experience and accuses Rollins of lying to federal officials during her own campaign. Champion, positioning herself as the calm alternative, attacks both for temperament issues and brings up controversial incidents involving them. With early voting looming, endorsements and fundraising numbers show a tight race—with Hayden leading in funds and support, Champion gaining traction from her past ties to Hayden’s office, and Rollins relying on her legacy despite lower recent fundraising. Voters are left with tough calls as this high-stakes battle heats up. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
