Voters in Bolton, Hudson, Maynard, and Stow will have a second chance to choose between state Representative Kate Hogan, a Democrat, and Republican Chuck S. Kuniewich Jr., who is trying to unseat the two-term incumbent in the Third Middlesex District after an unsuccessful run two years ago.

While Hogan said putting a regional transportation system in place is an important reason to send her back to Beacon Hill, Kuniewich said cutting the sales tax and unnecessary programs from government will be his focus. In addition, the two candidates see improving the climate for small business in the area as a key issue, but have different views on how to make that happen.
