Harvard’s Danielle Allen explores a 2022 Governor bid.

December 14, 2020 By methuenprogressive

Danielle Allen seems like an interesting person, with a compelling message, but I know little about her..

What’s her party affiliation? Does she have a history in Mass politics?

News story here.

Her site here.

She wrote that incarcerated persons should receive COVID-19 vaccines early in the Washington Post.

    Pretty sure I read elsewhere that she would be seeking the Democratic nomination, which would fit her issue and belief profile. I’m sure she’s a fine person, but I don’t feel someone with my involvement level should have to ask “Who?” about a candidate for Governor.

      When someone announces, while carefully not saying party affiliation, it’s always a headtipper for me.

      Well there was that obscure Deputy Assistant US Attorney General that announced shortly after the 2004 election that he was exploring a run for the 2006 race for MA Governor. He certainly garnered a big “Who?”. That guy ran (badly) for President last year, so he got somewhere in life.

    Prof. Allen is a distinguished political scientist at Harvard, is running as a progressive Democrat, and was a key thinker behind the Ranked Choice Voting campaign. She has a great life story too.

    Here’s a clip of her talking to Ezra Klein about the radicalism of the American Revolution.

#MAPoli is taking over the sporting world. First Baker to NCAA and now Marty to NHLPA. Let’s get @SenMarkey to replace Roger Goodell next.

The media likes to portray people of faith as only caring about right wing social issues like denying pregnant people the right to make their own healthcare decisions, but Jewish values call on folks to stand up for #EnvironmentalJustice #mapoli

JALSA @JALSA_boston

Our Jewish values call on us to protect the earth and our environment. The Zero Carbon Renovation Fund established in HD.776 and SD.500 will make it possible to retrofit buildings through an environmental justice lens #mapoli #EnvironmentalJustice
