Maria Giesta pulls papers for New Bedford Ward 2 City Council
Former staff member for Congressman Barney Franks and 2015 New Bedford mayoral candidate Maria Giesta has pulled papers to run for New Bedford Ward 2 City Council. Current ward 2 City Councilor Steven Martins is popular in Ward 2, but is vacating the seat to run for City Assessor.
Two other New Bedford residents have pulled nomination papers for Ward 2 New Bedford City Council since they became available; community activist Carlos Pimentel Felix and United New Bedford co-founder Edwin Cartagena.
