State Representative Lenny Mirra (R-West Newbury) won a rematch on Tuesday night.
Mirra, who represents the Second Essex District, ran a tight race against Democrat Christina Eckert of Boxford in 2018 and pulled out a victory against her this time around as well. Mirra earned 14,849 votes to Eckert's 14,062. It's an improved performance for him over his 2018 run when he edged out his opponent, receiving 50.7 percent of the vote to her 49.3 percent, according to the Secretary of the Commonwealth's elections division.
If you take Massachusetts governor Charlie Baker at his word, then he didn't have a preference in the 2020 presidential election.
The Republican is no fan of President Donald Trump and previously stated that he would not vote for the incumbent. However, that doesn't mean that Baker voted for former vice president Joe Biden, the Democratic candidate, or even Jo Jorgensen, the Libertarian Party nominee.
