Tobias Glidden, a fifth generation Nantucketer, is running for Cape and Islands state representative as an independent candidate. But if elected, he said he intends to work with the Democratic party.
Dylan Fernandes defeated four challengers in the September Democratic primary, winning 1,337 votes from the Island. He calls the state representative’s seat his dream job.
Voters were waiting outside early voting locations before they opened in several Island towns Monday morning, as Massachusetts town clerks officially started collecting ballots two weeks before the traditional election day.
