Reading Releases Unofficial Vote Totals: 2022 Primary Results

READING, MA — Reading voters took to the polls on Tuesday, largely following state trends to favor Maura Healey and Geoff Diehl in the Democratic and Republican gubernatorial races respectively, according to unofficial results released on Tuesday night.

Roughly 24.9% of Reading's registered voters turned out to vote, casting their votes in a number of contested statewide races on both the Democratic and Republican ballots.

While there weren't any contested local races, Reading voters did help finalize a general election matchup between Wakefield town councilor Ed Dombroski and incumbent State Sen. Jason Lewis for the 5th Middlesex State Senate seat later this fall.

Statewide, contested Democratic races in this week's election included races for Attorney General, Auditor, Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of State. There were also contested Republican races for Governor and Lieutenant Governor.

Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate Maura Healey technically had a primary opponent on the ballot in Sonia Chang-Diaz. Chang-Diaz dropped out of the race earlier this year, though, leaving Healey effectively unopposed. The AP called the Democratic governor's race in favor of Healey shortly after polls closed on Tuesday.

The AP then called the Republican race in favor of Geoff Diehl later on Tuesday night, with Diehl edging out competitor Chris Doughty to set up a general election race with Healey.

William Galvin won the Democratic Secretary of State race to face Republican Rayla Campbell in the general election in November, the AP said.

Andrea Campbell then emerged as the declared winner in the Democratic Attorney General race, according to the AP. She will face Republican James McMahon, III in November.

Kimberly Driscoll was declared the winner of a three-way race for the Democratic Lieutenant Governor nomination. That sets her up to face Leah Allen, who was called as the winner of the Republican Lieutenant Governor race on Wednesday.

The AP called Diana DiZoglio's State Auditor race with Chris Dempsey early Wednesday morning in favor of DiZoglio. She will face Republican Anthony Amore in the general election.
