Kim Roy qualifies for ballot in Worcester and Norfolk Senate District

According to an update posted yesterday on her Facebook page, State GOP Committeewoman Kim Roy (R-Sutton) has easily qualified for the Republican nomination for state senate in the Worcester and Norfolk District.

Roy was not on the ballot and needed to receive at least 300 write-in votes to qualify for the general election slot opposite Sen. Richard Moore (D-Uxbridge). According to her Wednesday post, she had received at least 800 votes. In an update this morning, Roy estimated that she would ultimately wind up with as many as 1,000 votes once write-ins had been certified in all of the towns in the district.

Senator Richard Moore draws a write-in opponent

Republican State Committeewoman Kimberly Roy (R-Sutton) has announced her intention to wage a write-in campaign for the Republican nomination for senate in the Worcester and Norfolk District.

According to a campaign flyer Roy posted on her Facebook page, the married mother of two is hoping to "stick it to beacon hill...and remove a 31 year tax-and-spend Democrat incumbent." Sen. Richard Moore (D-Uxbridge) currently holds the seat.

If Roy is successful in getting at least 300 write-in votes on September 14, she will appear on the November 2 ballot opposite Moore.
