Former Massachusetts State Senator Edward P. “Ned” Kirby today endorsed Mark Alliegro’s candidacy for Congress in the 9th Congressional District. “He looks like a great candidate and would be a very able Congressman,” stated Mr. Kirby.

A political leader on the South Shore for more than four decades, Ned was a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives in the 2nd Plymouth district from 1961 to 1967. From 1969 to 1976, he was a Plymouth Country Commissioner where he founded the Plymouth County Development Council and gained state backing for a countywide radio system for police communication.

He served six terms in the Massachusetts Senate representing Plymouth and Barnstable from 1981 to 1993. During that time, he served on the Senate Ways and Means, Transportation and Judiciary committees and was Assistant Minority Leader. The Senator was appointed as a Administrative Law Judge by Governor William Weld, and was an Appeals Judge in Workers Compensation. A longtime member of the Whitman Republican Town Committee, Ned has been a mentor to numerous Republican candidates and elected officials.

On Saturday, March 1, at the Plymouth County GOP 5th Annual Recognition Breakfast in Middleboro, Sheriff Joe McDonald paid tribute to Senator Kirby, calling him the “moral compass of the Plymouth County GOP.”

Cheers and a standing ovation followed Sheriff McDonald’s remarks.

“I am very honored and grateful to have the support of Senator Kirby, a dedicated and decent public servant who effectively served Plymouth County during his many years in government,” said Mark Alliegro.

Whitman Town Clerk Dawn Varley swearing in new school committee member Daniel Cullity.

The town of Whitman held its annual town elections on Saturday, despite the lack of any contested races on the ballot.

However, there were two races that had open seats that were up for grabs; two three-year term on the school committee and a one-year term on the planning board.

Once the polls closed, the numbers were read from each of the four precincts and then a hand count was conducted to check for write in votes.

Robert Trotta, who was on the ballot, secured one of the two school committee seats, leaving the second seat open for write-in votes

An hour later, Town Clerk Dawn Varley shared the results for the open seat on the school committee. Dan Cullity was a write-in winner with 37.

Cullity spent the day in front of town hall holding a campaign sign.

Meanwhile, Richard Rosen gained enough write-in votes to edge out Harry Bates and Thomas Lauzon III for the one-year term on the planning board.

Whitman’s election saw 511 of the town’s 9,600 registered voters head to the polls to cat a ballot on Saturday.
