No Re-Election Bid For Marzilli

It’s no surprise that State Senator Marzilli has decided not to seek re-election this fall.

State Sen. James Marzilli said Thursday he would not seek re-election in the fall after his arrest this week on charges that he groped and made lewd comments to two women.

The Arlington Democrat said in a statement that his Statehouse staff “will continue to respond to the needs of constituents within the district” until the end of his term.

Two other Democrats — Arlington Selectman John Hurd and retired firefighter Kenneth Donnelly — already were running for the seat.

State Sen. James Marzilli was admitted to an area hospital Thursday afternoon, his attorney told WBZ, the same day he decided against seeking re-election after his arrest on charges that he groped and made lewd comments to two women recently.

A source close to Marzilli told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity that Marzilli was seeking treatment at McLean Hospital, a psychiatric hospital in Belmont.
