BOSTON – Election Day settled contests in 53 communities around the state and may prompt several special elections, as the House and Senate seek to fill vacancies left by members who are moving on after victories on Tuesday.
State Rep. Michael Brady (D-Brockton) bested his Republican opponent to capture a seat in the Senate and Rep.

Another House seat is already set for a special election March 1 after Leah Cole, a Peabody Republican, resigned in September.
