An attorney who previously worked for former Gov. Deval Patrick is launching a bid to oust 13-term U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch, mirroring a trend nationwide to shake up the Democratic Party since President Donald Trump won his second term.
Patrick Roath, who also worked as a voting rights advocate, announced last week in a video on social media his intent to run as a primary challenger against Lynch, who represents Massachusetts’ 8th Congressional District.
