A rally was held at the steps of city hall filled with hot chocolate and supporters of the Fuller School project.
The night before polls open for Framingham's special election on the Fuller School project, the 'Yes For Fuller!' group held a hot chocolate rally to get out the vote.
Supporters of the project bundled up and braved the cold, equipped with "Vote yes for Fuller" signs and cups of hot chocolate they were determined to get out he vote. “We’ve gone door to door, made calls, showed up at events and educated the voters,” said Donna Kilcoyne-Orthoefer, chair of 'Yes for Fuller!' and Framingham parent. “It’s up to each one of us to go to the polls tomorrow and vote Yes for Fuller! Every vote makes a difference, and this election is too important to sit out.”
An array of local voices and figures came out to speak in favor of the project including Kilcoyne-Orthoefer, City Council Chair Dennis Giombetti, and School Committee Chair Adam Freudberg, citing generational and fiscal responsibility.

“I cannot recall a local ballot question when the facts were so overwhelming,” said Giombetti. “The Yes for Fuller! team did an outstanding job to educate the voters on those facts. It is now up to the voters to do the right thing and vote Yes for Fuller!”
“This vote is about ensuring Framingham’s future,” said Freudberg. “I’m proud to live in a community that cares about our children. A Yes vote on Tuesday is a vote for our fiscal security and for creating opportunity for Framingham’s next generation.”
