Saugus Primary Election results at a glance

Registered voters: 4,025 of 20,647 (19.49%) ballots cast: 4,025

  What was decided locally: With no Republican candidates on the ballot for the Nov. 8 general election, it appears Essex County Sheriff Kevin F. Coppinger will be reelected to his second six-year term. Because there will be no Republican challenger on the ballot for November, it also appears that Paul F. Tucker will become the next District Attorney of Essex County. The three members of the Saugus state legislative delegation – State Rep. Donald H. Wong (R-Saugus), State Rep Jessica Ann Giannino (D-Revere, who represents Precincts 3 and 10) and State Sen. Brendan P. Crighton (D-Lynn) – all have a lock on another two-year-term as they will not face any ballot opposition in the Nov. 8 election. Governor’s Councillor Terrence W. Kennedy should continue to represent this Sixth District, as he faces no opposition in November.
