Cathie Rumsey (D) is running for the state Senate seat
currently held by Frank Maher (R), who has served two terms and has done
virtually nothing for the benefit of the people of his district. Due to
redistricting, District 34 now covers almost the entire northern part of
Charlestown north of Route One.
Maher got himself appointed to the Redistricting Committee,
apparently thinking he could re-shape his district to his advantage. But how
adding so much of Charlestown to his district helps him, is beyond me, since we
never, ever spotted him in the much smaller north-eastern corner of Charlestown
he represented.
Anyway, many Charlestown voters who were used to being
represented by Sen Dennis Algiere (R) who usually ran without opposition (as is
the case again this year), will now have a great new candidate to consider in
Cathie Rumsey.
If you want to meet Cathie, who is by the way, endorsed by the Charlestown Democratic Town Committee, read on for details about her
upcoming event on Monday.
