• Rep. Steven Lynch trailed in Boston — then the suburbs rewrote the story (masslive.com) — Canton voters played a notable role in returning U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch to Congress, giving him 62% of the vote in the 8th District Democratic primary. While challenger Patrick Roath carried Boston, Lynch's strong margins in suburbs like Canton, Dedham, and Norwood erased that lead and secured his 14th term. The race underscores suburban influence in this increasingly competitive district.
