Halifax resident Summer Schmaling, who is running for state representative as a Republican in the Twelfth Plymouth District, recently received the backing of a former member of the state Legislature.
Schmaling, who is running against incumbent state Representative Kathleen LaNatra (D-Kingston), earned the backing of Geoff Diehl, a Whitman Republican who represented the Seventh Plymouth District in the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 2011 to 2019. Diehl was also the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in 2018.
