It's official. Sandi Martinez, long-time Chelmsford resident, gets snubbed by the Chelmsford Independent. Here's my favorite quote:

It's hard to see what Martinez would do if elected. She would strike poses on the "values" issues she holds dear, but as a Republican in a Democrat-dominated Legislature, she's unlikely to win those battles. As a newcomer with little experience or interest in the nuts-and-bolts of governing, it's hard to imagine her delivering much for her district.
