Murphy, Cronin to Square off in Easton Debate for State Rep.
The two candidates for the 11th Plymouth District will square off on ECAT later this month.
On Nov. 6, Obama vs. Romney won't be the only important choice on your ballot. For most voters in Easton, they'll be faced with a choice between Dan Murphy and Claire Cronin.
Cronin, who won a competitive Democratic Primary last month, will face Republican Murphy, an Easton Selectman, to decide who will represent the 11th Plymouth District in the Massachusetts House of Representatives.
