Committee to Elect Jon Fetherston: "What is Sannicandro worried about? Simply that Jon Fetherston would make a great state representative and the people of Ashland and Framingham know it."
Press Release from Committee to Elect Jon Fetherston: While it seems State Rep. Tom Sannicandro (Ashland-D), who represents Framingham and Ashland, doesn’t have time to debate the issues with his opponent, Jon Fetherston (a Republican), he does have time to attend a fundraiser tonight, Oct. 16 in Ashland. Sannicandro has turned down several invitations from local groups representing taxpayers and small business to debate. The panelists and moderators for these debates were chosen to provide a balanced view so there is no legitimate reason to refuse. The keynote guest at Sannicandro's Ashland fundraiser is none other than our Governor Deval Patrick. This is notable, in that Governor Patrick hasn’t attended these events for other local …

Jon Fetherston, a Republican challenging incumbent Democrat Tom Sannicandro for the 7th Middlesex District state representative seat, has launched a video ad.

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…

Recent news stories detailing allegations concerning the trading of probation department jobs for political consideration are the latest in the sordid, recent history of Massachusetts House of representatives. The problems on Beacon Hill are many and the challenges confronting us are formidable, but working together we can overcome them. The first step in dealing with the many difficult issues we face is ending the culture of corruption on Beacon Hill. The culture of corruption infects all parts of state government and its effects are devastating to us all. It effects how much money the state has to spend to help the neediest of our neighbors and to help our towns serve the people. From the housing department in Chelsea to the education …

Here is a video from Tom Sannicandro's recent fundraiser with Governor Deval Patrick. As some of you may know, the Governor had gone to see the kids at Ashland Middle School earlier in the day before visiting with Sannicandro supporters, many of whom have lived in this areas for decades. All in all, it seemed like a nice event. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=An5WMOjsmVM more ›
