Libertarian-Minded Republican Joins Race To Defeat Jake Auchincloss

U.S. Representative Jake Auchincloss (D-Newton) isn't running for re-election unopposed.

A libertarian-minded Republican from Newton, Emily Burns, announced that she will challenge him in the Fourth Congressional District in a video posted to YouTube on Tuesday, October 12. She is the second Republican to join the race; former Attleboro city councilor and U.S. Air Force veteran Julie Hall is also running. Hall was the Republican nominee in 2020.
