The race for Republican State Committee woman is on the March 5th Presidential ballot. .  Mashpee has been moved from the Cape & Islands Senate District to the Plymouth/Barnstable  Senate District.  The state committee man and woman represent their members in each town in their district.  The Plymouth/Barnstable district has grown from six towns to eight towns.  Mashpee and Plympton are the newest member towns of the district.  Because this new district already has state committee man and woman representing the district at large, they are listed on the Mashpee ballot as seeking re-election.  There is no contest for the state committee man position but there is a contest in the state committee woman race.  As the current state committee woman has never represented the town of Mashpee, even though we have been in the State Senate district for almost two years, I respectfully ask you to treat this race for State Committee Woman as an open race and give each candidate equal consideration as neither one of them has ever represented Mashpee in this important position.

Respectfully yours,Phyllis Sprout
