In the News: Proposed June primary would benefit MA voters; Franklin residents part of Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge team

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:

Proposed June primary would benefit Massachusetts voters

"Last year’s Sept. 4 primary election was about two weeks earlier than is typical for Massachusetts, moved up so that it would not conflict with Jewish holidays. But despite the alteration, it was still the sixth-latest primary election in the United States. 
Senator Becca Rausch wants to change that. 
The first-term legislator filed a bill that would move the state primary up to June, and she says that the switch would help voters become better engaged and would allow the general election to be more competitive — not to mention the convenience of avoiding the scheduling pitfalls that come in September
“The primary date right now is very challenging,” said Rausch, a Needham Democrat who unseated former Sen. Richard Ross of Wrentham last November.
 
“I think we saw those reasons pop up in 2018 in a pretty obvious way.” 
The senator represents precincts 1 to 4 and 7 in Franklin, Millis, precincts A to C, I and J in Needham, Norfolk, Plainville, precincts B, F, and G of Wellesley, Wrentham, ward 1, 2 and 3a of Attleboro, North Attleborough, precincts 6, 7, 9 and 10 of Natick, Sherborn and Wayland."

Franklin residents part of Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge team
"Franklin residents will run to conquer cancer as a member of the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge team in the 123rd Boston Marathon on April 15. 
Franklin residents participating include: Kerry Cameron, Catherine Cameron, Stephen Rondeau and Eileen Wallace. 
Along with more than 500 Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge teammates from across the United States and around the world, they will run Massachusetts’ historic marathon route from Hopkinton to Boston to raise $6 million for cancer research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. 
This year marks the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge team’s 30th annual running in the Boston Marathon. All funds raised by DFMC goes to Dana-Farber’s Claudia Adams Barr Program in Innovative Basic Cancer Research that supports promising science research in its earliest stages. The Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge has raised nearly $93 million to date."

In the News: Primary results

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:

"In a political stunner, incumbent Democratic U.S. Rep. Michael Capuano lost Tuesday’s primary to Ayanna Pressley, a Boston city councilor who is virtually assured of becoming the first black woman to serve Massachusetts in Congress. 
Republican Gov. Charlie Baker won his party’s nomination for a second term, defeating Scott Lively, a conservative minister and staunch supporter of President Donald Trump who frequently called Baker — a frequent critic of the president — a RINO, or Republican in Name Only. Baker will face Democrat Jay Gonzalez. 
Democratic U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren sailed through the primary unopposed. She’ll face Geoff Diehl, a state representative who served as co-chair of Trump’s 2016 campaign in the state and defeated two other Republicans for his party’s nomination."

"Three Democrats battled it out in Tuesday’s Democratic Primary in the Norfolk, Bristol and Middlesex District. 
Early returns showed Needham lawyer Becca Rausch had a 2,900-vote lead over challengers Jackie Katz and Kris Alexsov, according to the Rausch campaign late Tuesday night. All precincts reported except for Norfolk and Franklin. 
The winner faces incumbent Sen. Richard Ross, R-Wrentham, in November. Ross has held the seat since 2010."
