As the dust settles in an eventful night in Massachusetts politics, the result of the down ballot races in the Gateway Cities shows there will be a few new faces in the delegation this coming January. While incumbents held strong, first timers Eric Lesser and Barbara L’Italien won Senate seats to represent parts of Springfield and Lawrence respectively. On the house side Randy Mom edged out his opponent in a tight race to represent Lowell in the house, Brendan Crighton won in Lynn, and Republican Kate Campanale won in the Worcester 17th.
Please find a list of all the results of the rest of the Senate and House races in the Gateway Cities and congratulations to all candidates for a well fought campaign season.
