Voters in Wakefield in this year's election will settle a contested race in the 5th Middlesex State Senate district, where incumbent and Democrat Jason Lewis is running against Republican challenger Ed Dombroski.

That race was in the spotlight on Monday of this past as Lewis and Dombroski met for a debate in Wakefield. Both Lewis and Dombroski have also outlined their campaign platforms in Patch candidate questionnaires in recent weeks:

• Jason Lewis (Democrat)
• Ed Dombroski (Republican)

Outside of the state senate race, Wakefield voters will also weigh in on a number of contested state races and ballot questions.
