Abortion is the theme of a short independent movie filmed in Brockton.
Abort, directed by Brockton native Tim Young, is about "a Black woman caught at the crossroads of starting a family or continuing to advance in her career," according to The Brockton Enterprise.
Alex Hagerty worked to try to re-elect former President Donald Trump — and now he is seeking higher office in his hometown.
Hagerty, an elected member of the Abington board of health, is running for selectman in the upcoming Saturday election. The 26-year-old Republican, who works in human resources, was the director of Trump PRIDE Massachusetts in the 2020 election cycle. That was a pro-Trump LGBT coalition that Hagerty headed as an openly gay man.
