A Short Overview
Massachusetts is one of the most Democratic states in the nation, with strong liberal influence in Boston and surrounding suburbs. Democrats control the legislature overwhelmingly, though voters sometimes elect moderate Republican governors. Cultural priorities include education, healthcare, technology development, and social policy. The electorate is highly educated and politically engaged. Most competitive races occur in primaries rather than general elections.
