Shrewsbury – Mindy McKenzie-Hebert has announced that she is running for Massachusetts Republican State Committee representing the towns of Auburn, Grafton, Leicester, Millbury, Northbridge (precincts 2 and 4), Shrewsbury, Upton, and Worcester (wards 5 to 8).
“As Chairman of the Shrewsbury Republican Town Committee and working on campaigns in our district, I am encouraged and excited to have an opportunity to represent and unite the party here in central Massachusetts,” said McKenzie-Hebert.
McKenzie-Hebert and her husband, David, reside in Shrewsbury at 5 Woodchuck Hill Rd. Their children, Madison and Macklin, are in college and graduated from Shrewsbury High School. She currently sits on the Planning Board and the Open Space and Recreation Plan Committee in town.
The State Committee is the legislative body of the Mass GOP and consists of 40 men and women elected every four years. McKenzie-Hebert sees the position as one with vast opportunity in central Mass.
“I strongly believe that the best solutions to address the issues in the Commonwealth will come as a result of robust dialog and open debate – decisions cannot and should not be made behind closed doors by a few or with the assistance of special interests,” she said. “As a State Committee representative, I will draw on my broad range of experiences as local community leader, political finance director and successful fundraiser, as well as that of wife and mother, to recruit and help elect outstanding Republican candidates that reflect the make-up of our communities.”
McKenzie-Hebert has received endorsements from area Representatives, including the Assistant Minority Leader George Peterson from Grafton, Matt Beaton from Shrewsbury, and Kim Ferguson from Holden.
“I am deeply honored to have the support of respected legislators” said McKenzie-Hebert.
Voters in the district are invited to the Grafton Inn, 25 Central Square (Route 140) in Grafton, Tuesday, Feb. 16, at 7 p.m., to “Meet and Greet Mindy.” To RSVP or for more information, email [email protected] or call 508-736-7723.
