“I am very grateful to the voters of Framingham and the rest of the 19th Worcester District for electing me to represent you in the Massachusetts House of Representatives. I’ve spoken with voters at their homes and at events and engaged in so many meaningful conversations. It is an honor and a privilege to be entrusted with this responsibility. I’m looking forward to serving,” said Donaghue to SOURCE on Wednesday.
