About this Article

As Democratic state Sen. Linda Holmes campaigns for re-election Nov. 6 in the 42nd district, she is promising to apply her fact-finding skills and willingness to work toward solutions to the state’s problems with finances, pensions, taxes and the business climate. Her opponent, Republican Peter Hurtado of Plainfield, is pledging to be a more fiscally responsible legislator who will represent community groups and Latino voters whom he says have been “neglected.”
