Anyone know who's running for Carl Sciortino's old seat?

I'm just curious if anyone has a complete list of candidates for the 34th Middlesex state representative district -- the district most recently represented by Carl Sciortino -- which includes Ward 7, just outside Davis Square (Holland Street, Jay Street, parts of the Community Path, Teele Square, etc.)

So far, I've counted five candidates: Erin DiBenedetto, Sharon Guzik, Nick Lanzilli, Christine Barber, and a fifth candidate whose name I'm now forgetting (I'll try to remember and post it).

Most of those candidates are based in Medford, which also has neighborhoods in the district. Christine Barber is from Somerville's Ward 4. Is anyone from Ward 7 running?

Lists of all candiates for office in the September 9 primary

I don't see Nick Lanzilli's name there, but I do see Craig Rourke, who also lists an address in Ward 4. (Maybe Lanzilli is running as a non-party candidate rather than a Democrat?)

Excellent. Thanks! Craig Rourke was the name I was forgetting.

Here's Nick Lanzilli's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ElectLanzilli

Here's an announcement in the Medford Transcript: http://medford.wickedlocal.com/article/20140519/News/140516248

His Facebook page seems updated and active.

It looks like non-party candidates have until July 29 to submit signatures, so maybe he's an independent: http://www.sec.state.ma.us/ele/elepdf/2014-primary-and-election-calendar.pdf

All five have been invited to a Candidates' Forum this Sunday, June 29 at 7 pm at Tufts University's Barnum Hall, Room 008, 163 Packard Avenue. Carl Sciortino will moderate the discussion.

Barnum Hall?

Sounds like it'll be a circus. ;-)
