Massachusetts voters are heading to the polls for the state primaries, which are expected to have low competition but a few key races to watch. In the U.S. Senate Republican primary, three candidates are vying to take on Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren, with Marine Corps veteran John Deaton leading in fundraising. Deaton has drawn support from the cryptocurrency world and is focusing on immigration and other key issues.
Locally, legislative races are heating up with challengers taking on incumbents like Rep. Erika Uyterhoeven and Rep. Marjorie Decker. Rep. Dylan Fernandes’ move to a Senate seat has created a Democratic primary for his House district.
In other races, Rep. Bill Driscoll is running for Senate, creating a three-way primary for his House seat. Rep. Matthew Muratore is also running for Senate, sparking a lively election for his House seat. Attorney Mara Dolan is challenging longtime incumbent Marilyn Devaney for the Governor’s Council seat.
Overall, the primaries in Massachusetts present a mix of low competition and key races to watch, with many candidates focusing on key issues like immigration, infrastructure, and the economy. As voters head to the polls, attention is on the candidates who could potentially bring new leadership to various legislative seats across the state.
