Decker-MacKay claims fact-checked before primary

Voters in the 25th Middlesex District go to the polls today in the rematch between state Rep. Marjorie Decker and challenger Evan MacKay, a race that has escalated into accusations of lies, distortions and personal attacks. Cambridge Day asked both candidates to clarify the record on flash points including personal finances, campaign finance and past political histories. Decker has contrasted her mortgage and utility bills with MacKay's residence in Harvard dorms; MacKay's campaign confirmed they work as a residential tutor, a role that requires living on campus, and they say they would leave their PhD program if elected.
