Please vote for the only two candidates who will work FULL TIME as Medfield’s state representatives. Both are also the only Democrats running.

JOSH TARSKY – VETERAN, TEACHER, ATTORNEY, FATHER


L-R: Sen. Edward Markey, Josh Tarsky, and Medfield residents Susan Bernstein, Sioban Donovan, Nino LaFrancesca, Joanne LaFrancesca, and Osler Peterson.
Yesterday Senator Markey addressed those supporting Democrat Josh Tarsky to replace Denise Garlick as our state representative.
MAJOR POINTS:
Josh will be a FULL TIME state rep. – his opponent would continue his current RE job and work only part-time at the legislature.
Josh is a DEMOCRAT – former long time state rep. Lida Harkins noted that “unenrolled” reps just cannot get as much done.
Josh has the BACKGROUND to best get things done – Army Special Forces veteran, public school principal, attorney, educated at Harvard & Yale.
Sen. Markey said that Massachusetts needs Josh working for us in the legislature.
Josh is endorsed also by the Governor, the Lt. Governor, two U.S. Representatives, and both U.S. Senators.

Having met with Kevin several times over the last two years, I’ve found him to be well aware of our municipal issues, knowledgeable about the roadblocks we face to address them, and insightful in his rationale for tangible solutions. His experience as a Select Board Chair in Norfolk as well as his body of work on the Planning Board, County Advisory Board, and MBTA Advisory Board all contribute to his locally-focused approach to public service. Most importantly, I have come to understand that Kevin truly cares about making our towns work better for our residents. He’s approachable, he listens, and makes himself available whenever asked. Based on all this, I am confident that he would represent Medfield’s interests well in the legislature and I hope you will join me in supporting Kevin Kalkut for 9th Norfolk State Representative. – Osler Peterson, Medfield Select Board

Josh visited our polls during the election on Tuesday at the time I was there to vote (when I took a moment to thank the sign holders). Dem. State Rep. candidate Kevin Kalkut for our precincts 3 & 4 was there holding a sign at the time as well.

The state primary election is today and the polls are open until 8PM at The Center.
There are contested races on both parties’ ballots.
The Democratic State Representative race features the following candidates, per this paragraph from the Charles River Chamber of Commerce’s e-newsletter this morning:
Five candidates want to fill Garlick’s 13th Norfolk seat covering Needham, Dover and part of Medfield. Democrats — Patrick Gatto, Ken Ruetenik, Josh Tarsky and write-in candidate Bhuren Patel compete today. They’ll face off against Bill Dermody, who’s running as an unenrolled candidate in November.

You can listen to yesterday’s debate by the three Democratic candidates seeking to replace Denise Garlick as our State Representative via this link. The debate was organized by the Charles River Regional Chamber and its President and CEO Greg Reibman did an excellent job of moderating the debate and getting information from the candidates.

Bill Dermody of Needham is also running as an unenrolled candidate. Bill attended our Select Board meeting last night and introduced himself to us at the end. Bill will face the winner of the Democratic primary in the November election.
