If you are looking  for other campaign volunteer opportunities, there are State Senate and Rep races needing  workers and races for Governor’s Council.

Rep. Jamie Eldridge - 37th Middlesex District - is running for the Democratic nomination in the Middlesex & Worcester District to replace retiring Senator Pam Resor. Eldridge is well-respected for his high-level  5th CD campaign last summer. http://jamie.combsnet.com/

Jim Arciero of Westford and Chelmsford Board of Selectman member Pat Wojtas are running for the Democratic nomination in the 2nd Middlesex District to replace retiring Representative Geoff Hall.  Billerica Representative Bill Green is challenged in the Democratic primary by Selectman Jim O’Donnell. As part of an ongoing effort to turn the First Middlesex Rep District “blue,” Groton Democrat Virginia Wood is challenging Republican incumbent Bob Hargraves. Lawrence has a spirited and heated race in the 6th Essex District as former Acting Mayor and City Councillor Marcos Devers challenges incumbent Rep. Willie Lantigua for the Democratic nomination while the Freshman Rep Methuen’s Linda Dean Campbell is again facing Christopher DiBella in the 15th Essex District primary.

Others in the Greater Lowell /MV delegation - Senators Panagiotakos and Tucker, Representatives Golden, Nangle, Garry, Miceli, Finegold and Tucker have no primary or Republican opposition. But Reps Kevin Murphy (Lowell) and Barbara L’Italien (Andover) and Senator Susan Fargo (Third Middlesex) face either a Republican or Independent in November.

And then there is the race in the 4th Middlesex District to replace Senator Jim Marzilli. The contest in the Democratic primary is between  firefighter union exec Ken Donnelly and Arlington Selectman John Hurd. Billerica is in the 4th District.

In the Governor’s Council - Third District race, longtime incumbent Marilyn Petitto Devaney of Watertown is facing a double-barreled challenge in the primary from fellow Democrats Watertown Fire Department Lieutentant Tom Walsh and Jack Doyle of Waltham. In the Fifth District incumbent Mary Ellen Manning of Peabody faces primary challenger Timothy Houlten.
