MARLBOROUGH, MA — The 2024 presidential race between Joe Biden and Donald Trump will be the marquee race this November, but voters in Massachusetts will also be voting to elect (or re-elect) state House and Senate candidates.

But 2024 will be a relatively sleepy year for state legislative races. Just 40 state representatives and 11 senators are facing challengers this year, according to the Secretary of the Commonwealth — including Marlborough's legislative delegation.

The deadline to file to run for legislative seats passed on Tuesday, offering a glimpse into the races that will be on the ballot in November. State Rep. Danielle Gregoire, D-Marlborough, and state Sen. Jamie Eldridge are among those with no challengers this year. State Rep. Carmine Gentile, D-Sudbury, who represents northeastern Marlborough, is also going unchallenged.
