Democrats keep wide majorities in House, Senate
Democrats held 170 of 200 legislative seats going into the election, and although votes were still being tallied Wednesday, Republicans appeared to have made no gains.
According to unofficial results, Democrats appear likely to add one seat in the 40-seat Senate, increasing their total from 36 to 37 seats by reclaiming the vacant post previously held by former Democratic Senator Adam Hinds. Republicans held onto their three incumbent seats.
In the 160-seat House, Democrats seem poised to increase their majority from 125 to 132 seats after winning several open spots, including two previously formerly held by Republicans who didn’t run again — James Kelcourse of Amesbury, who left for the Parole Board, and Timothy Whelan of Brewster, who ran for Barnstable sheriff. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/11/09/metro/state-legislative-races-democrats-keep-wide-majorities-house-senate/?et_rid=1745480152&s_campaign=metroheadlines:newsletter
