BEVERLY A Beverly man will challenge Democrat U.S. Rep. John Tierney and Republican candidate Richard Tisei for the Sixth Congressional seat this fall after he received enough signatures to appear on the ballot as a Libertarian.

Daniel Fishman is a Beverly native and first-time candidate, according to his website, Fishman For Congress. He announced his candidacy for the Sixth Congressional District in an email Monday night.

The district, which stretches from Lynn, Saugus and Nahant north to Amesbury and west to Billerica, is one of the most closely contested races in Massachusetts this fall, with polls showing Tierney and Tisei mostly even.
