"care more about candidates than parties"

The Milford Daily News has a recap of the current candidates for Rep Jim Vallee's 10th Norfolk seat which is up for grabs this fall.
“I’m delighted to see that five candidates have stepped up to this race,” said Roy, also the chairman of Franklin’s Democratic Town Committee. “I can’t remember a time in my lifetime that we’ve (had) that kind of choice.” 
Roy is a Boston lawyer, Franklin town councilor, and former Franklin School Committee member, who said he wants to focus on jobs, education, and civility in government if elected. 
Jewell, a Franklin School Committee member who spent 24 years in the military and now works at the medical company Siemens Diagnostics, said he’s looking at the financial aspect — by cutting frivolous spending and securing local aid — and education. 
Padula, a Franklin-based insurance agent and former special assistant District Attorney, said he also wants to look at financial issues, but looks more to creative budgeting. 
Eustis, a lawyer who served in the U.S. Navy for four years, said he’ll focus, like Roy, on bridging partisan lines. 
Analysts said Vallee’s long commitment to his job, as well as more people paying attention in the charged political environment created by U.S. Senate races and a presidential race, will contribute to candidates needing to work harder.
