Charlestown Lawyer Sets Run Vs. Sen. Anthony Galluccio
Embattled state Sen. Anthony Galluccio, engaged in a legal battle over an alleged hit-and-run accident, now faces another challenge - this time from a fellow Democrat looking to unseat him.
Dan Hill, a 36-year-old Charlestown lawyer, told the Herald he’ll toss his hat in the race Monday and that voters should consider the Cambridge pol’s legal woes.
“Sen. Galluccio will have to answer to the constitutents and explain his actions,” Hill said.
Just don’t expect the first-time political candidate to raise it.
“I don’t think it’s appropriate for a candidate to attack another candidate’s character,” Hill said.
Hill’s decision to challenge Galluccio comes just days after Cambridge cops revealed they gave the state senator a lift home after responding to a report of an intoxicated man. Galluccio has refused to discuss what he was doing the night the cops picked him up.
Only 13 hours later, he said he “panicked” when he fled the scene of the hit-and-run accident in which a 13-year-old boy was injured.
Galluccio won the seat in 2007, beating Cambridge Democrat Timothy Flaherty, son of the former House speaker Charles Flaherty.
