UPDATED: Who Has Pulled Papers to Run For Charter Commissioner?

Earlier this month, Framingham Patch broke the news that voters will be asked in March to create a Charter Commission, which would be tasked to study Framingham’s form of government. Voters will vote yes or no on the Charter Commission.

Also in March, voters will elect nine commissioners, who will study forms of government and make recommendations to voters on possible changes to Framingham’s Town form of government, just in case the Commission question passes.

If a resident, who is a registered voter, would like to run as a Charter Commissioner, they must submit 100 signatures of registered voters to the Framingham Town Clerk’s office by Feb. 9.

As of the Christmas break, the following individuals have pulled papers to run for a seat on the Charter Commission:

• Christine Long
• Teri Banerjee
• Joel Winett
• Kevin Crotty
• Ted Welte
• Bradley Bauer
• Jeannie Bullock
• Richard Weader
• Cheryl Gordon
• John Kahn
• Gloria Geller
• George P. King
• Valerie Mulvey
• Laura Medrano
• Deborah Butler
• Doug Freeman
• Michael Rossi
• Robert Merusi
• Lloyd Kaye
• Jim Pillsbury
• Linda Dunbrack
• Dennis Giombetti
• Steven Clark
• Dennis Cardiff
• Janet Leombruno

None will officially appear on the ballot until the Town Clerk’s office has verified the 100 signatures submitted.

Not all of the names above have submitted nomination papers, but all have pulled them.

Candidates for Commissioner may submit an announcement with photo to Framingham Patch, under the community news site’s election policy. Click here for details on the Patch Election Policy.
