Ross Running for State Senate

Norfolk’s state representative, Richard Ross, announced this week that he plans to run for the state Senate seat soon to be vacated by Scott Brown. Ross, a Republican from Wrentham, is likely to be joined in the race by state Representative Lida Harkins, a Democrat from Needham, among others. On Wednesday, January 27, Ross issued the following statement on his Facebook page: “Thank you one and all. Yes, tonight I announced in the great town of North Attleboro, that indeed I would seek election to the Norfolk, Bristol, Mid­dlesex

Senate and to the People’s seat that had been occupied by our newest US Senator Scott Brown. It would be my honor to continue the fin­est

traditions of representation that Sen. Brown and Sen. Sprague set as a benchmark. I look for­ward to the race and to both the Special and Gen­eral Elections.”
