MA-HD03-Bristol: Democrat Lisa Field is running for Carol Doherty's old state rep seat. Who is she?

TAUNTON — Lisa Field, a Taunton Democrat who works for the Massachusetts Nurses Association as an associate director, has declared her candidacy for Carol Doherty's old state representative seat.

"My dear friend Carol Doherty was a true public servant. She left behind a legacy for us to build upon and I plan to do exactly that," Field said in a press release.

Doherty, a Taunton Democrat who died on Feb. 15 of pancreatic cancer, represented the 3rd Bristol District, which consists of part of Taunton and part of Easton. Specifically, the district consists of Precincts 4A, 5, and 6 in the south-west of Easton, and Ward 1 Precincts A, B, Ward 2, Ward 5, Ward 7 and Ward 8 in the west of Taunton. A special election to fill the seat was announced on March 10.

Field was the co-founder of a group called Clean Air Taunton, which opposed a proposed sludge biosolids processing plant that would have been located in Taunton
