Miceli Will Seek Another Term Is State House

WILMINGTON, MA -- Rep. Jame Miceli (D-Wilmington) announced plans to run for another two-year term in the state house of representatives. Miceli has held the 19th Middlesex District seat, which represents all of Wilmington and Tewksbury.

"I’ve never forgotten… the seat that I sit in is not mine; it’s owned by the people in the community," Miceli told the Tewksbury Town Crier, which first reported his plans to seek reelection. Miceli was first elected to the seat in 1977.

No Democrats have announced plans to run against Miceli in the primary, but he's likely to face a Republican in next November's general election. Republican Pina Prinzivalli, of Tewksbury, announced plans to run several weeks ago. Candidates can't officially declare February 13 and have until May 1 to file nomination papers.
