Katherine Clark Opening Field Office in Arlington

Congressional candidate Katherine Clark is setting up shop in Arlington.

The state senator’s campaign is opening a field office at 1179 Mass. Ave., which was vacated by the boutique Batiz last month.

“We have a number of supporters and volunteers in the Arlington-Lexington area who are interested and ready to get to work on Katherine’s campaign,” Clark’s campaign manager, Brooke Scannell, said Tuesday.

Scannell said she believes Clark has gotten off to a strong start in the 5th Congressional race to replace Ed Markey. In addition to fundraising and endorsements, Scannell said they are very excited about the number of “average voters” who are involved in the campaign.

The field office is the campaign’s second physical space – the first being in Malden. It should be open by the end of this week or early next week, Scannell said.

Arlington residents interested in volunteering for Clark’s campaign should go to her campaign website, www.katherineclarkforcongress.com.

Clark, 49, is a Democrat from Melrose. She currently represents Malden, Melrose, Reading, Stoneham, Wakefield and Winchester in the state senate.
