NextImg:Ayanna Pressley cruises to re-election, Massachusetts Democrats leading congressional races

The nine incumbent Democrats running for re-election to the House of Representatives were leading their elections on Tuesday, as it appeared they would all easily coast to victory in the midterms.

While many Democrats were at risk of losing their seats across the country, the nine members of Congress from Massachusetts were cruising. Only two of the nine elections were called by the Associated Press as of 11:15 p.m.

U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley clinched her third term on Tuesday, as she crushed GOP candidate Donnie Palmer. Pressley was leading 85% to 15% just after 11 p.m., when the Associated Press called the race with 85% of the results in.

Congresswoman Katherine Clark, who’s assistant speaker and the fourth-ranking member in the chamber, was soundly defeating Republican candidate Caroline Colarusso. Clark was up 75% to 25%.

U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch was beating out Republican Robert Burke. Lynch was winning by a 69% to 31% margin.

Congressman Seth Moulton in the only three-way congressional race was besting GOP candidate Bob May and Libertarian candidate Mark Tashjian. Moulton had 61% of the vote, compared to May’s 37% and Tashjian’s 2%.

U.S. Rep. Lori Trahan was defeating Republican candidate Dean Tran, a former state senator who was indicted earlier this year on charges in connection with an incident involving his alleged theft of a firearm from an elderly constituent. Trahan was up 64% to 36%.

U.S. Rep. Jake Auchincloss, who won a nail-biter primary two years ago, was the lone uncontested race. The Associated Press quickly called the election for him.

Congressman James McGovern was beating out GOP candidate Jeffrey Sossa-Paquette. McGovern was winning by a 68% to 32% margin.

Congressman Richard Neal, the House Ways and Means committee chairman, was defeating GOP candidate Dean Martilli. Neal was winning by a 63% to 37% margin.

U.S. Rep. Bill Keating was in the closest congressional race against Republican Jesse Brown. Keating was up 59% to 41%.
