District 3 includes Arlington. The candidates on the ballot for the September 3 primary are Marilyn Petitto Devaney, incumbent, and Mara Dolan, challenger; both are Democrats.

- Come and Help at Town Day 2024
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21
The end of summer means it’s time to get ready for Arlington’s Town Day. LWV Arlington will have a booth at this event that will be packed with information about voter registration, the upcoming election, proposed legislation, precinct maps, League membership, policies, and activities, and other voter service literature. We are looking for volunteers to work in 1- or 2-hour increments from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
This is a great, fast-paced event, with two to three people at the booth at all times, so both seasoned and new League members are welcome to participate. If you can help out, please call Meredith Zona at 781-648-2753, or send an email to her at meredith.zona@stantec.com.
You can find more information on this year’s Town Day on the Town Day page of the Arlington website. We look forward to seeing you on Town Day!
