A deeply Democratic district stayed Democratic on Tuesday — but it's a lot less left wing than it was.
The successor to former House Speaker Robert DeLeo (D-Winthrop) in the Massachusetts House of Representatives will be former Winthrop town council president Jeff Turco. The Democrat had no problem winning the Tuesday, March 30 special general election triggered by DeLeo's December 2020 resignation to take a job teaching about legislation and public policy at Northeastern University. The seat has been vacant since then.
