Lewis was re-elected to the seat for the second time. The Winchester resident is on several committees on Beacon Hill, chairing the Joint Committee on Labor and Workforce Development and the Joint Committee on Public Health. He's also the Vice Chair of the Joint Committee on Marijuana.
Hammar was threatening to shake up the establishment by bringing what she said was fresh perspective to Beacon Hill. The Melrose resident has focused on housing, student loan, and child care costs for working families.
