Check out our NEW website! www.messingerinsurance.com Night Tuesday, November 5, Everett voters followed state trends, but not the national outcome, with losing candidate and current Vice President Democrat Kamala Harris carrying Everett with 7,508 votes, with now President-elect Republican candidate and former President Donald Trump receiving 4,505. Democrat candidates carried Everett and Massachusetts in 2016 and 2020, as well as this year, but the Republican, Trump, won the national election in 2016 and 2024. Trump did better in Everett this year than in the past two elections, losing by only 3,003 votes. While losing the national election in 2020, he received 4,022 Everett votes compared to Joe Biden’s 10,343, a diff erence of 6,321. While winning the Presidency in 2016, he received 3,940 compared to Hilary Clinton’s 9,641, a diff erence of 5,701. The Everett results bore out a prediction from Chelsea Republican City Committee member and City Councillor Todd Taylor: Trump would do better in Everett this year, based on national trends. He lost in all Wards and Precincts, but did best in Ward 1, Precinct 2, which votes at the Connolly Center on Chelsea Street, losing by only 63 votes, 287 to 214. In the other major contested race, incumbent Senator Democrat Elizabeth Warren received 7,992 Everett votes compared to Republican challenger John Deaton’s 3,957, with Everett again agreeing with the statewide result. Warren votes were twice that or more than Deaton in all Wards and Precincts. In a lower profi le contested race, Everett Democrat Maria VOTES | SEE PAGE 14
