Fraser Announces “Official” Candidacy for 2nd Franklin District State Representative



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.
