He takes the seat held by Anne OâConnor, who announced that she would not seek reelection.
Hasty, an Army veteran and graduate student at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, defeated Albert Cummings IV, a musician and construction contractor, 989 to 770, in a bid for the last year of Jeffrey Thomas' term.
