MA’s 21st Middlesex has long been represented by Charley Murphy, who announced that he wouldn’t be running again after the cutoff date for withdrawals. As a result, the Democratic primary there is all write-in, because Murphy will be the only candidate on the ballot.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dave Fionda for some time on local land use issues, and I can attest that Dave is committed to improving the lives of his neighbors, and very dedicated to hearing and advocating for their concerns. Dave has served on the Town Meeting for Burlington, his local School Council, and worked with many town committees and departments.

I hope that the voters of Bedford, Burlington, and Wilmington MA will write-in Dave Fionda when they go the primary polls on September 6 — and then vote for him in the general election.
