Jack Richardson unseats David Vieira in Cape Cod state rep race

FALMOUTH — Democrat Jack Richardson defeated longtime incumbent state Rep. David Vieira , a Republican, on Election Day, capping a campaign in which both candidates agreed on issues ranging from affordability to environmental concerns but differed sharply on how to address them. After the polls closed, Richardson, 23, was surrounded by supporters at the Daily Brew Coffee House & Lounge as results started to come in around 10 p.m. for the Third Barnstable District state representative seat. Intermittently, Richardson stood before a cheering crowd, updating party attendees on local wins. "I feel good. I'm proud of the campaign we ran. We knocked on over 10,000 doors. Made over 10,000 dials. And went to hundreds of events throughout the district," said Richardson, who is also a Falmouth Select Board member. "People want new ideas. People want new energy." As of Nov. 4, unofficial election results reported that Richardson had claimed roughly 52% of the vote over Vieira, 51, with 48% of the vote. Vieira has been in office since 2011. Throughout his eight-month campaign, Richardson emphasized his connection to working-class families and focused on affordability and the environment. Richardson and Vieira found common ground on some of the Cape's biggest challenges
