Sudbury – Ingrid Centurion (R-Sudbury) announced her candidacy for State Representative in the Middlesex 13th House district which includes Framingham, Marlborough, Sudbury, and Wayland.
“After very serious deliberation and talking over with my family, I’m proud to announce my candidacy for State Representative. We need leadership, who will fight for common sense and fairness at the State House,” said Centurion. “The Covid crisis has shown us once again that the House puts politics first. It took a court to straighten out access to the ballot, because the House failed. They have failed to develop a plan to reopen safely.”
Centurion plans on holding a formal kick-off party when the Commonwealth reopens. She has already launched a website Ingrid4Rep.com and has been gaining support on Facebook and other social media outlets.

“We are in a crisis. Where are the solutions from the incumbent? Our state is going to face a huge budget gap. I have seen no plan on the budget deficit.
