Sen. Marc Pacheco has served four years in the House of Representatives and 32 in the Senate, which has earned him the title of the Massachusetts Senate’s longest continuously serving member. This year will be his last, as he has decided to make an exit from the Third Bristol and Plymouth District seat.
A hotly contested race to replace him has begun, with four candidates throwing their hats into the ring.
Joe Pacheco, no relation, and Barry Sanders are both seeking the Democratic nomination for the race. Kelly Dooner is running on the Republican line, and Jim DuPont is running as an Independent.
Joe Pacheco and Barry Sanders will compete for the Democratic nomination in a primary to take place on Tuesday, Sept. 3
