Massachusetts 2026 primary election results for Senate, governor and more

Massachusetts held its state primary election Tuesday to decide who will be on the ballot in November's general election. 

The most high-profile contest was for the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate. Sen. Ed Markey, who is seeking a third term, defeated U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton. Moulton has served in Congress since 2014. Markey was first elected to the U.S. House in 1976. He will face Republican John Deaton in November.

In the race for governor, Mike Minogue defeated Brian Shortsleeve for the Republican nomination. Minogue will face Gov. Maura Healey in the general election. Speaking to supporters Tuesday night, Minogue said "we are going to make history."

There were six Democrats vying for the nomination for Rep. Moulton's 6th Congressional District seat. Dan Koh won the primary over Bethany Andres-Beck, John Beccia, Jamie Belsito, Mariah Lancaster and Tram Nguyen.

Congressmen Stephen Lynch and Richard Neal also won tight primary races in their districts.  

District attorney offices in Norfolk and Suffolk counties also had races on the primary ballot. In Norfolk, there were seven Democrats vying to replace Michael Morrissey. It was a close race between Djuna Perkins and Adam Deitch, but Perkins was declared the winner and Deitch conceded Wednesday afternoon.

In Suffolk County, incumbent Kevin Hayden easily defeated one-time district attorney Rachael Rollins.
