Congressional Primary Tuesday, October 15

On Tuesday, October 15 voters will head to the polls to narrow down the field of candidates running for Congress.

A total of ten candidates are running for former Congressman Ed Markey’s seat, three Republicans and seven Democrats.

Following the primary only two candidates will continue in the race for Congress, one Democrat and one Republican.
