In a press release dated May 2, Marty Lamb, Republican candidate for State Representative in the Eighth Middlesex District, announced that his team has collected over 1500 signatures for his campaign for the Massachusetts House; ten times the number of signatures required.
"I'm thrilled so many people signed my nomination papers and want me to run for State Representative. This shows our campaign to put people back to work, demand integrity and accountability at the State House, and control state spending has both grassroots support and momentum," said Lamb.
Only 150 certified signatures are required to make the ballot for State Representative. Yesterday, Lamb's team submitted 1500 to the four town clerks in the district.
"This is a critical election for the people of Holliston, Hopkinton, Southboro and Westborough. We need a new Representative who is focused on job creation all the time not just during an election year," said Lamb. "As a small business owner and someone who has struggled to make it work in Massachusetts, I know how to improve our economic environment. We don't just need green jobs. We need jobs across the board. The amount of people willing to sign and help collect signatures proves that voters want change at the State House."
Mr. Lamb graduated from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University in 1985 and received his Bachelor of Arts from Hampshire College in 1982. He has an extensive background in real estate law, formerly with Adelson, Golden & Loria, P.C., Edward A. Sokoloff & Associates, and is currently with Lamb and Associates, P.C. He is a member of the Real Estate Bar Association of Massachusetts. An active participant in community affairs, Mr. Lamb sits on the Board of Directors of New England Region of United Synagogue and is a past president of Temple Beth Torah in Holliston. He has also served on the Holliston Elementary School Council and the Campaign for Holliston Schools. He resides in Holliston with Peri, his wife of 22 years, and his two daughters Elissa and Simma.
