The defeat of anti-immigrant Republican gubernatorial nominee Geoff Diehl and the GOP-led measure seeking to repeal state law opening driver's licenses to eligible residents regardless of legal status weren't the only pro-immigrant victories in Massachusetts this week. Voters in Barnstable County elected Democrat Donna Buckley as their next sheriff. Buckley, who is also the first woman to be elected sheriff in Barnstable County, defeated Republican state lawmaker Timothy Whelan, a former police sergeant.
