Along with three contested State Representative races, Lowell voters also cast ballots yesterday in a number of statewide contests. And the results in the races which saw more than one candidate, the will Mill City voters echoed that of their counterparts state and district wide.
In the Republican Gubernatorial primary, Mike Minogue coasted to victory over Brian Shortsleeve by a 76%-24% margin across the Commonwealth. In Lowell, that margin was only slightly smaller, at 72%-28% (1,159-450). Minogue will now face Governor Maura Healey in November’s general election.
On the Democratic side, incumbent U.S. Senator Ed Markey rolled over Congressman Seth Moulten with a comfortable 65%-35% cushion. The Mill City margin was even larger, at 71%-29% (5,844-2,370).
Finally, in what was potentially thought to be a competitive race for Middlesex County District Attorney found D.A. Marian Ryan emerged victorious over challenger David Solet. While district wide numbers aren’t yet available, the gap in Lowell was sizable, with Ryan amassing 79% of the votes, to 21% for Solet (5,953-1,576).
