South Boston Senator Clinches Primary Against Wu-Backed Challenger
TL;DR Summary
State Senator Nick Collins defeated Latoya Gayle, a Wu-backed challenger, in a tight First Suffolk District primary with a 53.9%–43.7% margin. Gayle conceded on election night as Collins credited a broad coalition of supporters and labor allies for securing an independent voice in the district; Wu’s aggressive opposition to Collins and fellow senator Brownsberger also shaped other races, with Wu-aligned groups spending to back her favored candidates amid a broader tax-policy feud with the mayor.
