The Massachusetts primary lands on the day after Labor Day, raising concerns about a potentially low turnout, although early voting began on Aug. 27.
The election also features several statewide contested Democratic primaries, including for attorney general and secretary of the commonwealth. Two Democrats are jockeying for the top law enforcement office: former Boston city councilor Andrea Campbell and workers' rights attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan.
If elected, Campbell would be the first Black woman to hold the office in Massachusetts. She's won the endorsement of several high-profile elected officials, including Healey, Sen. Edward Markey and half the state's congressional delegation. Two Democratic candidates, Andrea Campbell and Shannon Liss Riordan are battling it out in the race for Attorney General to replace Maura Healey who is running for Governor. It is a race that began with -three- democrats, until former Obama official Quentin Palfrey dropped out last month. And now endorsements and money are starting to shake things up one day before voters go to the polls.
There are also contested races in the Democratic primary for auditor and for the Democratic and Republican races for lieutenant governor. None of the state's nine incumbent Democratic U.S. House members is facing primary challengers. There are two contested Republican primaries, in the 8th and 9th congressional districts.
