Hayden Secures Suffolk DA Nomination in 2026 Democratic Primary
Incumbent Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden won the 2026 Democratic primary, defeating challengers Linda Champion and Rachael Rollins. Hayden claimed a significant victory margin, framing the result as voter approval for his four-year tenure. The race followed a contentious August debate where candidates disputed issues of ethics and transparency. While Hayden secured the nomination, other Massachusetts DA races saw varied outcomes, including a crowded field in Norfolk County and unopposed Republican candidates in Bristol and Plymouth counties.
