Wayland Town Crier 6/3/11: Wayland rep joins growing field of Dems in U.S. Senate race. State Rep. Thomas Conroy, a third-term Democrat from Wayland who also represents the town of Lincoln and Sudbury, has joined the field of Democrats vying to challenge U.S. Sen. Scott Brown in the 2012 election, adding to the list of relatively little-known Democrats hoping to topple the well-financed Republican incumbent. Conroy, a risk management consultant who first ran for the House in 2006 and defeated a Republican incumbent, made the decision to throw his hat in the race a few weeks ago, according to his new campaign manager, and has taken steps to set up a federal campaign account with the Federal Elections Commission.
