Given there was no race in the Republican Party primary, Tuesday’s win reelects McGonagle to the seat, leaving the General Election in November as a formality. “The campaign never stops until November,” said McGonagle. In other races Senator Elizabeth Warren ran unopposed in the Democratic primary, receiving 1,967 votes. In the Republican Senate primary, statewide winner John Deaton received 261 votes, Robert Antonellis, 230, and Ian Cain, 34. For Congressman for the 7th District, incumbent Ayanna Pressley ran unopposed in the Democratic primary, receiving 1,846 votes, tantamount to reelection since there was no race in the Republican Party.
