INTERVIEWS: Democratic Governor's Council Candidates for District 2

The Frame's full interviews with Tamisha Civil, Muriel Kramer, Sean Murphy, and David Reservitz.

As we get closer and closer to the general election across the country on November 5, there’s a lot for voters to digest.

But, first things first: 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 the governor 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 four 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.

TAMISHA CIVIL: 0:05

MURIEL KRAMER: 11:50

SEAN MURPHY: 22:25

DAVID RESERVITZ: 29:37

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.
