| Description | A candidate for the Legislature tonight told state Representative Carlos Henriquez, who is facing charges that he kidnapped and assaulted a woman last month, that he should resign from his seat because the case has overshadowed his work, a claim that the lawmaker rejected.
“At this point you are a distraction to your party,” said Thomas J. Dooley III, a Beacon Hill real estate broker running as a Republican for the seat currently held by state Senator Anthony Petruccelli, an East Boston Democrat. “And they probably wish you would just go away.”
Henriquez, a Democrat who represents parts of Roxbury and Dorchester, said the pending criminal case has not distracted him from his duties.
“I haven’t missed any community meetings, I haven’t missed any votes, I’m actually being more active to make sure I’m getting out and knocking on doors just like you and talking to residents, and dealing with issues face on,” Henriquez said. “So I believe that when I’m found innocent, the work will continue.” |
