Voters in Dutchess County came out on Sunday for early voting in Rhinebeck, New York.

All five members of Berkshire County’s legislative delegation are running unchallenged in the September 1st Massachusetts primary.

The region’s four state representatives and state Senator – Adam Hinds – are all Democrats. None are facing challengers in this year’s primary.

“We’ve staid very focused on the issues in the district and what we’re doing to stand up for Western Mass and bringing that fight to Boston, and so I think there’s something to be said about that consistency,” Hinds.

John Barrett is the state representative for the 1st Berkshire District, Paul Mark the 2nd, Tricia Farley-Bouvier the 3rd, and Smitty Pignatelli the 4th

Polls close at 8 p.m.

Josh Landes has been WAMC's Berkshire Bureau Chief since February 2018, following stints at WBGO Newark and WFMU East Orange. A passionate advocate for Western Massachusetts, Landes was raised in Pittsfield and attended Hampshire College in Amherst, receiving his bachelor's in Ethnomusicology and Radio Production. His free time is spent with his cat Harry, experimental electronic music, and exploring the woods.
