Second Republican Running For Massachusetts Senate Seat In Central Massachusetts
Tom JoyceState Senator Anne Gobi (D-Spencer) is leaving her position later in June to become the rural affairs director in Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey's administration — and two Republicans are vying for the party nomination to run in the special election.
State Representative Peter Durant (R-Spencer), who has represented the Sixth Worcester District since 2011, is running, as NewBostonPost previously reported. Additionally, 24-year-old Rebekah Etique, a paralegal from Leicester, is running, according to the Worcester Telegram. Etique served as the campaign manager for James Amorello, a Holden Republican, when he ran for the seat last year; Amorello's campaign was competitive but lost to Gobi, 54 percent to 46 percent.
