BROCKTON – State Rep. Geoff Diehl's bid to add another Republican to the state Senate came up short Tuesday as state Rep. Michael Brady (D-Brockton), fueled by an 8,000-vote edge in his home city, managed to defeat the GOP challenger and keep the seat under Democratic control.
The race was defined by the heavy hitters who came to bat for both candidates, as Brady had U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren stump on his behalf while Diehl (R-Whitman) had GOP Gov. Charlie Baker standing firmly in his corner.
