Genevieve Fraser, a resident of Orange and former aide to
retired state Senator Robert D. Wetmore, is pleased to announce her official
candidacy as a Democrat for the 2nd Franklin District
state representative seat. The district
is now comprised of six towns in Franklin
County, five in Worcester
County and District A in Belchertown,
which is in Hampshire
County.
“Once you’ve visited the Secretary of State’s Election Division
in Boston with a
sufficient number of town certified signatures, and they hand you a receipt,
you’re in the race,” Fraser said. “I
wish to thank the hundreds of people who signed my nomination papers, including
Republican and Green affiliated voters whose signatures could not be certified
but whose well-wishes I greatly appreciate.”
“My campaign is based on a promise – to work tirelessly to
rebuild a local economy, based on a renewable energy infrastructure, which
employs built-in environmental safeguards. All three goals must be achieved if
we are to create a secure, healthy and sustainable future for ourselves and
generations to come,” Fraser commented.
Fraser has worked as a planner with the Private Industry
Council, an environmental technical writer, a member of the staff of Mount Wachusett
Community College and currently serves
as faculty with the University
of Phoenix Online. She is the recipient of a Massachusetts
Environmental Commendation for her work organizing Acid Rain Awareness events and
is an author. Her World War II non-fiction novel, “In the Claw of the Tiger” is
the true story of Athol native, Porky LaCoste, who survived the Bataan Death
March and prisoner-of-war camps in the Philippines
and Japan.
