Irfan Nasrullah and Muriel Kramer have requested nomination papers from the Hopkinton Town Clerk, effectively launching their campaigns for Select Board in the May 17 local election. Both are Democrats with prior municipal experience including on the Select Board.

Dear Editor,

It has come to my attention that a photograph featuring me has been used in connection with a news article written in support of the Massachusetts Bail Fund. The photograph was taken when I was standing behind Muriel Kramer while waiting to speak at a Hopkinton town meeting.

The publication that printed the photo, the Hopkinton Independent, did so without my permission and has removed my photo from their website. Unfortunately, the image has already been shared on social media and my picture now appears in connection with the bail fund.

Organization Active in Support for Elizabeth Warren, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Among Others

BOSTON — The Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC), a national grassroots organization whose million-member network advocates for progressive candidates and issues across the country, today announced its endorsement of Ed Markey for re-election to the United States Senate.

I have only words of praise for Amy Burns Ritterbusch. She’s clearly committed to bettering Hopkinton. I have found her to be equable, thoughtful, honest and industrious in her many town-based activities. She works to find the balance of truths in any given situation (not an easy undertaking); in this respect, she truly works for the community as a whole. I know her to be calm-headed, well-prepared, courageous and respectful of others. We are lucky in this town to have a surfeit of knowledgeable, committed and engaged volunteers to help us navigate these difficult times.
