BOSTON – The following is a statement from Jay Cincotti on filling the vacancy on the ballot for the Plymouth and Norfolk senate seat.

“Last evening, an ad-hoc executive committee consisting of local state committee members and local Democratic town committee chairs met in Cohasset to discuss filling the vacancy on the ballot for the Plymouth and Norfolk Senate District. Candidates met with the committee for over an hour discussing their campaigns and visions for the seat, after which the committee met to deliberate and make a recommendation to the Chairman. The recommendation to the Chairman was that Paul Gannon be the Democratic nominee. The Chairman has made the decision to follow the committee’s recommendation and will appoint Paul Gannon as the Democratic nominee for the November election.”
