READING, MA — Preliminary vote totals in Reading show local voters largely landing in line with state and regional trends in now completed 2022 state elections.

The town released its preliminary results on Tuesday night. As with the state as a whole, Reading voters favored Democratic gubernatorial candidate Maura Healey and Democratic Attorney General candidate Andrea Campbell at the top of the ballot.

Elsewhere, voters joined fellow constituents in the Sixth Congressional District in voting for another term for Congressman Seth Moulton, who NBC News projected as the winner in his three-way race on Tuesday night.

Reading voters further supported State Sen. Jason Lewis in his efforts to fend off a challenge from Wakefield Town Councilor and Republican Ed Dombroski in the Massachusetts Fifth Middlesex State Senate District.

Lewis, a Democrat, declared victory roughly an hour after polls closed this week at an event in Malden. Some results were still yet to come in for the Fifth Middlesex Race as of Wednesday morning around 8 a.m., though Lewis held a lead.
