On the GOP ballot, John Deaton won the nomination for U.S. Senate.
FRAMINGHAM - The unofficial results from Tuesday's primary elections in Framingham and across Massachusetts are in.
On the Democratic Party ballot, incumbent State Representative for the 7th Middlesex District Jack Patrick Lewis won another term on Beacon Hill, as he defeated challenger Carlton Phelps. Unofficial results show that Lewis' 2,821 votes in Framingham and 1,607 in Ashland were enough to top Phelps' 306 tallies in Framingham and 586 in Ashland, according to the Associated Press.
This year's race was the first time Lewis had run in a contested primary since he was first elected to the 7th Middlesex State Representative seat in 2016. Now, he will be sworn in for a fifth term.
In the crowded race for the Democratic Party's nomination for the 2nd District spot on the Massachusetts Governor's Council, Tamisha Civil (27,247 votes across the nearly 40 cities and towns, including Framingham, that make up District 2) emerged victorious ahead of Sean Murphy (15,748 votes), Muriel Kramer (15,507), and David Reservitz (11,914).
Civil will move on to face Republican Francis Crimmins Jr. in November for a spot on the Governor's Council, the body that advises the state's governor on legal matters such as judicial appointments and recommendations on pardons. Crimmins Jr. ran unopposed in his party’s primary.
Republican John Deaton won about 65% of the statewide vote in the race for the GOP's nomination for U.S. Senate. Deaton's 850 votes in Framingham were more than Bob Antonellis' 424 tallies and Ian Cain's 107 votes combined.
Deaton is now primed to challenge incumbent Democrat Elizabeth Warren in the general election for a seat in the nation's capital.
Other locally-based races for the Massachusetts State Senate and House of Representatives, along with additional state offices, were uncontested during the primary. Incumbent Democrats in the General Court Karen Spilka, Danielle Gregoire, Priscila Sousa, and Kate Donoghue will serve another term on Beacon Hill.
Unofficial election records from city officials show that 8,235 of the 43,099 registered voters in Framingham participated in Tuesday's primary; that represents a 19% turnout out of all registered voters.
