The Campaign Trail for the State Senate

Giannino considering a run for State Senate seat

Councillor-at-Large Jessica Giannino said she is weighing a run for the State Senate seat held by Anthony Petruccelli, who announced that he will be stepping down from the position in January.

Giannino, who topped the ticket in the councillor-at-large election Nov. 3, issued the following statement:

“First – I wish Senator Petruccelli well in the next chapter of his career. I have enjoyed working alongside him on issues that impacted our community. He has been an outstanding advocate for the First Suffolk and Middlesex District, and his leadership in the Massachusetts State Senate will be missed.

To the many people who have called with questions about my intentions, words of encouragemen

t, and most importantly, pledges of support, I am humbled and very grateful. Yes, I am weighing a run for the seat.
