U.S. Sen. Ed Markey won reelection Tuesday, securing another term as Massachusetts voters also returned Gov. Maura Healey to office, according to the Daily Item.
The statewide victories for the two Democrats came despite Republican support in some North Shore communities. Saugus was among the places where the local result contrasted with the statewide outcome, the outlet reported.
The results put the Senate and governor’s contests on the same broad footing: Both Democratic incumbents prevailed across Massachusetts even as some communities favored Republicans. The Republican support reported in Saugus did not prevent Markey from retaining his seat.
The available Daily Item summary does not include statewide vote totals, margins of victory or a detailed breakdown of the Saugus results.
