As a result of that announcement the MASS GOP dispatched Joe Laporte, MASS GOP political director, to let us know that this race is now viewed as one of the most important and winnable seats in the state.

This is a winnable seat, but we will need to put the work in to help one of these candidates win in the general election. Update: Glenn Jones has announced that after further consideration, he will not be running for the State Rep seat. |
