Marzilli not seeking re-election
State Sen. James Marzilli said Thursday he would not seek re-election in the fall after his arrest this week on charges that he groped and made lewd comments to two women.
The Arlington Democrat said in a statement that his Statehouse staff “will continue to respond to the needs of constituents within the district” until the end of his term.
Two other Democrats — Arlington Selectman John Hurd and retired firefighter Kenneth Donnelly — already were running for the seat.
Marzilli, 50, pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges he tried to grab a woman sexually at a park in Lowell, then fled police, and to charges he made lewd remarks to another woman. He is free on $1,500 cash bail and is due back in court July 3.
A spokesman for the Middlesex District Attorney’s office has said they were looking into other possible incidents involving Marzilli.
Marzilli spent 17 years in the House before winning a special election in December to fill a vacant seat in the Senate. His district includes Arlington, Billerica, Burlington and parts of Lexington and Woburn.
