State Rep. Tom Sannicandro won all six of the Framingham precincts in the 7th Middlesex District plus the community of Ashland to win re-election.
State Rep. Tom Sannicandro (D-Ashland) won all six of the Framingham precincts in the 7th Middlesex District and every precinct in Ashland to defeat his Republican challenger Jon Fetherston. Framingham Patch first reported the win Tuesday night before 9:30. Fetherston, the former chair of the Ashland Board of Selectmen, didn't even reach 100 votes in two of the six precincts in Framingham. Framingham results are unofficial, as the Framingham Town Clerk's office has some issues with some machines at the polling places, due to thickness and width of the ballots. Because of those issues the Town Clerk's office was hand counting and will continue to hand count this morning. Unofficially in Framingham Precinct 8: Sannicandro 1,268; Fetherston …

Shulman: "The sponsors of a debate cannot be considered non-partisan while actively supporting one of the candidates with their time and their money."
It seems to me that candidates who focus incessantly on manufactured issues about their opponent also choose to avoid discussing their own record and affiliations. We see that in other campaigns up and down the ballot, but we have a striking example of this deflection technique right here in the 7th Middlesex House District (Ashland and part of Framingham). The non-partisan Framingham Coalition/Community Connections, which annually sponsors Candidates Nights, is hosting such a forum for State Rep. Tom Sannicandro and Republican challenger Jon Fetherston. Voters are invited to meet the candidates in person and hear their views, Wednesday, Oct. 24, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Wilson Elementary School. Access Framingham coverage is planned. On the …

The Committee to Elect Jon Fetherston to the 7th Middlesex District Representative seat said more than 20 signs, at $8.54 each, were stolen this month; signs were stolen last month too.
Another 21 Jon Fetherston signs for state representative have been stolen this week. The signs were stolen in Ashland. Fetherston, who lives in Ashland, is a Republican challenger to State Rep. Tom Sannicandro, who also lives in Ashland. The 7th Middlesex District seat represents Ashland and six precincts in Framingham. This is the second time a large amount of Fetherstone signs have gone missing. After the news coverage in early August, the thievery came close to a full halt. However, this was only a reprieve as some areas of Ashland have lost signs almost as quickly as they have been replaced, said Terry Hendrix, campaign manager for Jon Fetherston and a member of the Ashland Republican Committee. Hendrix said the Committee does not know…

I support Jon Fetherston for State Representative. The reason I support Jon, is that he is remarkable in the principals, I believe in. Being endorsed for Citizens for Limited Taxation should send a clear message to residents of Ashland and six (6) of Framingham’s precincts to vote for Jon. Please take note that the incumbent was not endorsed by this “Watch Dog Group” for limited taxation. The … more ›
