116.0. "Race for state representative" by SKETCH::SHUBIN (when's lunch?) Mon Aug 22 1988 12:36
Anyone have any feelings on the election for state rep? We've been
redistricted, and won't have the same representative (Pat Walrath)
anymore. The new incumbent is Lucille Hicks, who currently represents
Sudbury and Wayland. Her opponent is Mark Collins, who has an
office on Nason Street, where the Maynard Gold Outlet was before it
moved across the street. (I think I got all that right; if not, someone
add corrections.)
I don't know much about either of them. Collins was interviewed in the
Beacon a few weeks ago, but he didn't seem to answer any of the
questions, so I don't really know where he stands.
It could be that we're more well-served by a representative who lives in
Maynard (Collins) than one who doesn't, especially when the other one
lives in a more wealthy town, and has been representing them. On the
other hand, I don't know much about either one's record, and those facts
are more important than their addresses.

| 116.1 | voting record | VAXRT::HOLTORF | | Mon Aug 22 1988 15:01 | 7 |
| Cile Hicks represents Maynard,Wayland,and Sudbury. She
lives in Wayland. I don't know much about either of them but sure
would like to find out.I'll have to take a walk downtown.
The Beacon has been publishing a nifty little feature
about how rep's have been voting on different issues. It's in the
paper each week and you can follow Hick's voting record there.

| 116.2 | Debate | DINER::SHUBIN | The honeymoon's over... | Wed Oct 12 1988 09:55 | 5 |
| There'll be a debate between Hicks and Collins, moderated by George
Shaw on 27 October. The Beacon didn't mention where it'd be, but I'm
sure they'll let us know.

| 116.3 | Local Election Results | SYSENG::MORGAN | | Wed Nov 09 1988 12:05 | 34 |
| The election results are in. Cile Hicks won the state rep. election.
It breaks down as follows:
Town Candidate # of votes
---- --------- ----------
Maynard Hicks 1904
Maynard Collins 3138
Sudbury Hicks 5204
Sudbury Collins 3161
Wayland Hicks 5113
Wayland Collins 1941
So if my arithmetic is correct Cile Hicks had 12,221 votes to 8,240
for Mark Collins.
****************************************************************************
Maynard had a turnout of 5245 voters. I'm not sure what the actual
number is for registered voters, but I believe it's somewhere in
the neighborhood of 6000, so the turnout was very high. The
presidential election was VERY close and somewhat surprising in
Maynard. It breaks down as follows:
Dukakis 2535
Bush 2522
New Alliance Cand. 12
Civ. Lib. Candidate 62
I don't know the local results for the referendum questions.
