METHUEN - Seniors, Education are Zanni's Focus   METHUEN - City council president Steve Zanni says he is running for state representative for the seat being vacated by Arthur Broadhurst who is seeking the Register of Deeds position.

Zanni says he will not step down as the president of the council despite cries by one fellow councilor that he do so.

Zanni, a democrat will face Ed "Hoppy" Curran, Linda Dean Campbell, Mike Hennessey, and Chris DiBella in the September primary. If successful, Zanni will have to face fellow councilor Bob Andrew who is the only republican in the race so far.

Zanni has already recruited Methuen School Committeeman George Kazanjian to help run his campaign and is putting together a campaign committee and will be holding a campaign kickoff on April 26th at the Tara Mara Guest House Suites. The event is scheduled for 6:30pm.

Zanni said he will be more detailed about his campaign platform in the coming months but, he said he plans on being a strong advocate for senior citizens and wants to be intimately involved in securing the funds at the state level for a construction project to replace or renovate the existing Methuen High School.

As a former member of the Lawrence  and Methuen School Committees, Zanni has experience in education and says he wants to use his years of experience in public service to represent the people of Methuen.
