A Ball Square lawyer, whose practice includes criminal defense and immigration law, announced today that he is a candidate for alderman-at-large in Newton.

"Mine will be a difficult, but winnable race," said Benjamin Arnhold-Weisbach, whose office is at 694 Broadway.

"I will need the support, help and advice from my friends and family to make this happen. Together, we can bring people together to make a positive change," he said.
