Gregoire Wins Primary, But Only Carries Marlborough

MARLBOROUGH, MA — Incumbent state Rep. Danielle Gregoire is the likely winner in Tuesday's 4th Middlesex Democratic primary — but she only carried one of three communities in the district.

Gregoire was ahead with 4,179 votes over challenger Jeanne Cahill, who earned 3,270 votes. Gregoire's 1,000-vote lead largely came from Marlborough. Cahill carried Northborough and Westborough, according to the unofficial results.

Gregoire, 41, has represented the 4th Middlesex District — which encompasses three of the "Boros" — since 2008, except for 2010 to 2012 when Republican Steven Levy won the seat. Cahill ran on a platform of bringing more transparency to voters about what happens behind closed doors on Beacon Hill.

Here are the unofficial results from each part of the district as of Wednesday morning:

Marlborough

Gregoire — 3,170
Cahill — 1,352

Northborough

Gregoire — 481
Cahill — 1,227

Westborough

Gregoire — 528
Cahill — 691
