Decker retains Cambridge seat as 25th Middlesex primary wraps up

Incumbent Marjorie Decker won the 25th Middlesex District state House primary in Cambridge (4,104 votes to Evan MacKay’s 3,599) as results with 99% reporting rolled in. The night also saw multiple local winners: Erika Uyterhoeven took the 2nd Middlesex Senate nomination; David Rogers and Mike Connolly won their House races; Somerville’s Paul Mbah and Ben Ewen-Campen secured Beacon Hill seats; Marian T. Ryan defeated David Solet for Middlesex DA. In statewide races, Ed Markey claimed the Democratic US Senate nomination, and Michael Minogue led the Republican governor primary. The Brownsberger-Lander state Senate race remained too close to call pending overseas ballots.

Norton to retire after 35-year tenure as D.C.'s nonvoting delegate

Eleanor Holmes Norton confirmed she will retire as Washington, D.C.'s longtime nonvoting House delegate at the end of this term, completing her 18th term at age 88 after filing to end her reelection campaign. She highlighted accomplishments like transferring federal lands to local control and creating a federally funded tuition-assistance program for D.C. residents, and said she will continue serving residents until her term ends. A June 16 Democratic primary is expected to determine her successor, with candidates including DC Council members Brooke Pinto and Robert White; Norton had faced questions about fitness and had raised little campaign money amid retirement pressure.
