Here's hoping there are some more qualified candidates stepping forward.
Ms.Barnes seems like a nice enough person. But, I have not heard, read, or otherwise seen anything else attributed to her that would make her seem qualified or deserving of a Rep seat. That and state Rep should be a bit more of a full time job, and should not overlap a city council position. Although you still represent the area, constituents from other towns in your district don't want to think there is a conflict of interest where one would favor their home city any more than the other communities served.
I did not respect Michelle for this (among a list of many other reasons), and would expect anyone to step down uponwinng an election and being sworn into office.

Speaking of the federal job, she is being paid by us lowly citizen/taxpayers. Seems a lot of time being used to campaign, is she on the clock.

Makes one wonder how much time one can commit to any of those positions.

And while I'm not a fan of the multiple holding of offices, if, and that's an if, she wins, she may rethink it.

"A staff member for Brockton Democrat Michael Brady has now joined the race to fill the seat in the Massachusetts House of Representatives that Brady vacated to become state senator. Gerry Cassidy recently announced that he is running for state representative for the 9th Plymouth District. Before working for Brady, who was sworn in as the new state senator for the 2nd Plymouth and Bristol District on on Monday, Cassidy worked for 28 years as an administrative aide for Thomas Kennedy. "

Just an FYI, the election for the Seat will take place with the Presidential Primary On March 1. So no separate election. (Unless they're is a primary???)

"Barnes, Asack and Cassidy will compete against each other for the Democratic nomination during the February 2 primary election. The last day to register to vote for this primary election is January 13, said Brian McNiff, a spokesperson for Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin."
There is no Republican Primary; as there are no Republicans running in the Primary.

If a Republican can't beat running against Mike Brady, there is no way a Republican could win his Rep district...
I don't think any Republicans live in that district
