Eunice Delice Zeigler, a Democrat from Methuen, is seeking reelection to the Massachusetts Governor’s Council District 5 seat in the Nov. 3, 2026, election.
The official candidate list also names Republican William Falcetano in the race. Governor’s Council District 5 is a state council district, separate from the congressional district with the same number.
Background
Zeigler’s campaign biography says she lives in Methuen and earned a bachelor’s degree in political science and a master’s degree in economic and social development of regions at UMass Lowell. It describes work in economic development, public financial management and helping families obtain community resources.
Responsibilities and priorities
The state’s roster identifies Zeigler as the current District 5 councilor. The council reviews gubernatorial appointments, including judicial and Parole Board nominees, and acts on pardons and commutations.
The campaign homepage reviewed for this profile provides biographical information but does not set out detailed confirmation standards, specific new proposals or implementation costs. No additional policy positions could be verified from that page.
The council’s appointment decisions can affect the justice system serving local residents. An individual councilor cannot enact criminal laws, decide court cases or independently grant parole.
The Andover Ledger did not receive a direct questionnaire response from the candidate and does not endorse candidates.
