I believe her, and it matters. She matters. That's it, and that's all.

@kennycooks This isn't about teams or sides or supporting any candidate over another. I fundamentally don't even support the role of DA as it currently stands in our system, so I honestly hardly care which of the two candidates with nearly identical policies wins. But I do care about this.
I honestly thought it was bizarre enough that I was being asked to get behind a candidate who had never entered an appearance as counsel in the court all of his most serious charging decisions as DA would be heard in, but it seems we're way past that now
Otherwise: Wouldn't blame you if you missed it, but the Globe already reluctantly acknowledged in passing weeks ago that Hayden's office had proven that he'd always been working the case inherited from the prior admin they had tried to manufacture a scandal around him not working 
Arroyo + supporters have claimed w/o evidence since the 1st Globe story on these allegations that Hayden's office feloniously leaked reports of *sexual assaults on minors* for political advantage. Absolutely disqualifying if true for sure! But unlikely imo for any # of reasons
It is a strange but understandable reality of progressive politics that extensive experience as a prosecutor is one of the most disqualifying strikes against seeking election as a prosecutor--even someone apparently happy to work closely w/1 of the most progressive DAs in the US
Backing Rachael Rollins over her white conservative opponents was an easy call last time around, especially given her commitment to a new direction for #SuffolkDA.
Hayden may, as public servants often are, be a cipher. But he's also never lied about committing sexual assault.

N.B.: As someone who wants to see the #SuffolkDA's office become something that neither candidate--and no other candidate I've ever heard of--would ever be able to seriously run on my desires weren't going to be reflected by my vote. No shade on anyone who sits this one out tbh
