MA Election 2022: What Cape Cod's November Ballot Will Look Like
Now it's time for Democrats, Republicans and some independents to compete. See the local state and federal Nov. 8 contests.
CAPE COD, MA — With the Massachusetts primary results tallied, the matchups for the November ballot are now clear.
Apart from the big statewide contests — like the gubernatorial race between Democratic Attorney General Maura Healey and Republican Geoff Diehl — there will be a lot of local races to watch out for in the general election.
Many candidates did not face a primary challenge on Tuesday, but will now begin campaigning to win or retain their seats ahead of Election Day on Nov. 8. Some, however, will again run unopposed in the general, like in the second and third Barnstable districts for the statehouse race.
