Since Jerry Parisella has been appointed as a District Judge, the State Rep position will be voted on soon. Although no specific dates for a primary (3 announced contenders — so far) nor the actual election, Hanna Bowen, presently City Councilor At Large, has formally announced her candidacy for State Representative for Beverly & 1st Wenham Precinct. The discussion covered her qualifications & experience as well as her objectives as our next Stare Rep.
