Ken Donnelly a Lexington firefighter is piling in as well as Lexington's Housing Authority Commissioner, Bob Peters, who is also a wheel in the local democratic committee.
So we have two Lexington democrats in the race now...the field is getting crowded, Pat DiNatale and Joanne Gonsalves both from Woburn, Charles Murphy of Burlington and Arlington selectperson Diane Mahon are all in this thing as well as state rep Jim Marzilli.
And the Lowell Sun claims Arlington selectperson Jack Hurd is thinking about getting in as well.
This is a consequence of the special election format, most of these people are state reps and town elected officials, the scheduling of the race does not impact the retention of their own offices thus everyone wants to jump in and take a flyer. Even if they lose, they gain in name recognition and fatter rolodex to be deployed down the line in other contests.
Frankly though, this is turning into a cavalry charge type election...lotsa lotsa men and women on horseback all talking at once.
Meanwhile, the Arlington Town Democratic Committee meets this week...that ought to be an interesting session indeed.
Are there any Republicans getting into this thing at all?
Drop me a line...
