The two men running to represent Ashland and parts of Framingham in the state House of Representatives have differing views of how to get things done on Beacon Hill, disagreeing on state aid for education in particular.

Incumbent Democratic Representative Tom Sannicandro said his work to change the aid formula has given his district a dramatic boost in funding during his tenure, while Republican challenger Jon Fetherston said he sees the formula as unfair and skewed toward Boston and other areas.
