Westfield residents had a number of important decisions to make on Tuesday, having State Senate candidacy and various townships to vote on. Polls closed at 8 p.m., and residents of Westfield voted with overwhelming confidence to move Don Humason forward as the Republican candidate for Massachusetts State Senate having gained 89% support.
Despite the landslide results, registered Democrats from the greater Westfield area are now speaking out with skepticism regarding Humason's windfall success.
"This was the first time the ballots had photographs of the people running for office," explained Jane Delaney of Northwest Road. "Of course people are going to vote for the guy that looks like Santa."
"Just wait until he runs for president. I bet he'll do the full red suit." - Barb Chapman of Laurel Terrace.
"I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't have voted for Anthony Weiner if they put that picture of his package on the ballot." - Karly Finch of Sandy Hill Road.
The race isn't yet over, as this vote only determined the final two candidates to be chosen from this November. A source close to the Democratic nominee has shared that an entire team of stylists and makeup artists are being commissioned to help curb the almost instinctual tendency to trust a large, jolly, bearded man in a fancy suit.
In a related story, this years Santa's House was rumored to be constructed entirely of Gingerbread. Plans were moving quickly on the project until one council member expressed fear that Mr. Humason would completely devour it, children and all. When reached for comment, Humason had this to say: "I love Gingerbread, and I love children. But most of all I love Westfield. What better way to love Westfield than to put it in my mouth?"
What are your opinions on including candidate photos on the ballot? What do you think of putting Westfield in your mouth?TWN would like to know!
