The following as submitted by the Committee to Elect Stephen G. Ternullo:
Republican candidate and U.S. Army veteran Stephen G. Ternullo recently announced that he has officially qualified for the Sept. 1 Republican primary ballot for state representative, representing Stoneham and Winchester, after submitting certified nomination signatures.
Ternullo, a Republican, is challenging Democratic incumbent state Rep. Michael S. Day in the general election.
“It’s official — and now the real work begins,” said Ternullo. “This campaign is about standing up for the people who feel like Beacon Hill has stopped listening.”
Ternullo pointed to growing frustration among residents over rising costs and repeated reliance on Proposition 2½ overrides. Stoneham voters approved an override in December, while Winchester voters recently rejected one — both, he said, are clear signals that families are under financial strain.
“These aren’t just local votes — they’re warnings,” Ternullo said. “Families, seniors, and small business owners are stretched thin, and Beacon Hill continues to spend billions without prioritizing the communities that pay the bills. It’s time for leadership that puts taxpayers first and ensures every dollar is spent wisely.”
Ternullo also highlighted the urgent need for transparency and accountability. In 2024, over 70% of Massachusetts voters demanded an audit of the Legislature, sending a clear message that oversight and honesty matter to the people.
“As a veteran, I believe in service, accountability, and putting people before politics,” Ternullo said. “We deserve a representative who fights every day for Stoneham and Winchester — not for the insiders on Beacon Hill.”
With his place on the ballot secured, Ternullo said his campaign will focus on connecting directly with voters, listening to families, and building momentum toward the primary and general election.
“Together, we can bring accountability back to state government, protect our families, and ensure that every decision made on Beacon Hill reflects the needs of the people,” Ternullo said.
Your money. Your right to know.
The Republican primary will be held on Sept. 1, followed by the general election on Nov. 3.
