Dean Tran Better Get a Move On

If City Councilor Dean Tran -- or anyone else for that matter -- wants to run for state Senate out of Fitchburg, they better get moving, pronto.

Former Gardner Rep. Brian Knuuttila announced today he's running, and at Fitchburg City Hall for the announcement were five city councilors and a former state rep who are backing Knuuttila, with another councilor and a former mayor leaning his way (to find out here, click here).

Knuuttila was born and raised in Fitchburg, so he has deep roots in the city. An open Fitchburg is a good Fitchburg for Knuuttila. He appears to be quickly gathering support in the city, so if Tran or someone else wants to battle him for Fitchburg supremacy, they'd better step in soon, or there won't be much left to fight over -- at least in term of endorsements and support.
