Brownsberger Opening Congressional Race HQ

The race for the US Senate is only just getting started but for Belmont's own Will Brownsberger, it's never too early to start thinking about the future.

Even before US Rep. Edward Markey has won election to the US Senate in the special election later in June to replace John Kerry, Brownsberger has decided to get a jump on what is expected to be a crowded field of candidates who will be running to fill the open seat in the Fifth Congressional district.

In his most public step in that direction, Brownsberger will be celebrating the opening of his campaign headquarters, located at 334 Trapelo Rd. in Belmont's Central Square today, Friday, May 10, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. 

Brownsberger is seen as one of the front runners to take over for Markey if the Malden resident defeats Republican Gabriel Gomez in the general election. Brownsberger has already raised a quarter of a million dollars in the first quarter of 2013 in preparation of the campaign.
