It's Galluccio for State Senate

The Cambridge Chronicle and Blue Mass Group are reporting that Anthony Galluccio won the State Senate seat vacated by Jarrett Barrios in today's special election.

While Tim Flaherty had the most backing and Galluccio was saddled with a drunk-driving record, Galluccio also had the name recognition since he has been involved with Cambridge politics for so long. The only thing that matters is getting people to the polls and having them remember your name once they get there. And all the candidates faced a challenge with a special election date on a rainy day when most people are in a mournful mood.

Galluccio will resign his position with Cambridge city council.
