Sousa Wins Primary

She Will Represent New 6th Middlesex In 2023

Priscila Sousa has won the Democratic primary for the 6th Middlesex state representative seat.  She defeated Margareth Shepard in the September 6th primary election.  Both are members of the FDC. (There was a third candidate, Dhruba Sen, who withdrew from the race.)

There is no opposition for the general election, as such Priscila will be elected to serve in the State House starting in January 2023.

The FDC sends congratulations to Priscila for her hard earned win.

Results of the 6th Middlesex primary:

Priscila Sousa, 1647
Margareth Shepard, 1409
Dhruba Sena, 129
