Medford voters are heading to the polls on Tuesday, February 5, 2008 to make some big decisions.
Most of the city will be voting solely for a presidential candidate. In the days leading up to the race, stay tuned to InsideMedford.com to find out who some Medford residents are voting for and why. Email news@insidemedford.com if you’d like to submit an opinion piece about your favorite candidate. Pieces about candidates from all parties are welcomed and encouraged.

Part of the city will also be voting in a special election for state representative. Three Democratic candidates are vying for Jim Marzilli’s seat- Arlington School Committee members Sean Garballey and Jeff Thielman and Arlington resident Andrew O’Brien. The candidate with the most votes will advance to compete against independent candidate and business owner Bob Valeri and Republican candidate and former Arlington Town Moderator John Worden.
