Kate Campanale Considering Run For Massachusetts Senate

May 24, 2023

State Senator Anne Gobi (D-Spencer) is leaving her position in June to become the rural affairs director in Governor Maura Healey’s administration.

On the Democratic side, state representative Jon Zlotnik (D-Worcester) will run for the post. But what about on the Republican side?

Former state representative Kate Campanale, who served from 2015 to 2019 and now lives in Spencer, is considering a run, according to Politico. Campanale is married to state Representative Peter Durant (R-Spencer).

Campanale sought the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor in 2022, but was defeated by former state representative Leah Cole Allen, 52 percent to 48 percent.

The Worcester and Hampshire District, which Gobi represents, include Gardner, Worcester (Ward 7, Precincts 2, 4, 5, 6; Ward 9, Precincts 3 and 4), Barre, Brookfield, East Brookfield, Hardwick, Holden, Hubbardston, Leicester, New Braintree, North Brookfield, Oakham, Paxton, Phillipston, Princeton, Rutland, Spencer, Sterling, Templeton, West Brookfield, Westminster, and Ware.
