1. Framingham's newest Congresswoman was sworn in Thursday.

Former state Sen. Katherine Clark, a Democrat , was elected the U.S. Representative for the 5th Congressional District on Tuesday defeating her three male challengers.

Clark was elected to fill the unfinished term of former U.S. Rep Ed Markey, who was elected the state's junior senator earlier this year. She will need to run again for her seat in 2014.

"The Massachusetts Fifth, from Revere to Cambridge, Waltham to Framingham, is home to some of this country’s and the world’s most respected universities and innovative companies," Clark said in the statement after being sworn in. "We are deeply proud of these incredible institutions. But what defines the Fifth District is its families." Click here for more.
