Tamisha Civil, Muriel Kramer, Sean Murphy, and David Reservitz are all vying for the Democratic nomination for the District 2 seat, which represents Framingham.
The Massachusetts primary election will be taking place on Tuesday, September 3.
One of those primaries includes a race for the Democratic Party’s nomination for the District 2 seat on the Massachusetts Governor's Council. It’s a role that involves advising Governor Maura Healey on certain legal matters, such as nominations for judges and recommendations on pardons.
While the Governor's Council may not always be top of mind for voters heading to the polls, here in Framingham--which is one of nearly 40 cities and towns represented by District 2--Democratic Party voters will have 4 candidates to choose from for that seat: Tamisha Civil, Muriel Kramer, Sean Murphy, and David Reservitz.
The Frame sat down with each of them to learn more about how their backgrounds, and how their experience can inform their decisions in the governor’s council role.
The primary for that Governor’s Council race on the Republican Party ballot is uncontested, as Francis Crimmins Jr. is slated to advance to November’s general election and run against whichever Democrat emerges.
Polls will open in Framingham for the state primaries on September 3 from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

We continue our partnership with the Framingham History Center, as we look at certain aspects of local history during the 325th anniversary of the community’s incorporation. This month, we wanted to learn more about the three buildings that make up the History Center’s home base–the Edgell Memorial Library, Village Hall, and the Old Academy.
