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.

Following a community meeting on Monday, leaders on the project noted the first phase of construction into Framingham should hopefully begin in 2029.
With a 1.69% CIP shift—which was the same shift seen in FY25—residential taxpayers are slated to pay $11.91 per $1,000 of appraised property value. Commercial property owners would pay $24.13 per $1,000.
The work of local artists and independent filmmakers will be put on display during both days of the event, as attendees will also get the opportunity to learn and connect with each other.
