2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Massachusetts

Add article description


The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Massachusetts were held on November 8, 2022, to elect the nine U.S. representatives from the state of Massachusetts, one from each of the state's nine congressional districts. The elections coincided with other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate and various state and local elections. Only two primaries, the Republicans in the 8th and 9th districts, were to be held, the rest being uncontested.[1] It is also the largest state (and the state with the most congressional districts) in which only a single party won seats in 2022.
