Your State's Elected Officials in 4 Years

[Figueira]

I think mine will be exactly the same in 4 years time

Governor: Charlie Baker (R)
Lieutenant Governor: Karyn Polito (R)
U.S. Senator: Elizabeth Warren (D)
U.S. Senator: Ed Markey (D)
Attorney General: Maura Healey (D)
Secretary of State: William Galvin (D)
State Auditor: Suzanne Bump (D)
State Treasurer: Deb Goldberg (D)

This is my prediction too.

Probably the same as now. Massachusetts is boring.

AG Maura Healey and SOS Bill Galvin are both massive FFs though so it's not all bad.

Senators: Elizabeth Warren and Seth Moulton
Governor: Charlie Baker, although Joseph Kennedy Jr. will likely win in 2022
Representatives:
1: Richard Neal
2: Jim McGovern
3: Jamie Eldridge
4: Joseph Kennedy Jr.
5: Katherine Clark
6: Kim Driscoll
7: Mike Capuano
8: Stephen Lynch
9: Bill Keating

Please no Seth Moulton. I don't wanna replace someone as awesome as Markey with Moulton.

Agreed; I would be happy with Moulton in his current district, or as Governor or even President, but Massachusetts should have more left-wing Senators than that. Of course, if he runs for Senate he'll probably move to the left.

TNV, do you think that Tester winning re-election would help Daines in 2020, because people won't want two Democrats representing them in the Senate? Has this ever been a thing in other states?

Oh, I wish this were a thing, but I doubt it. Most voters probably don't even know the name or political affiliation of their Senators. I mean, I can't think of any example of where this happened before.

In that case, why do you think there's a 1% chance of Democrats winning both? Do you think that either of them individually (Tester winning and Daines losing) have that small of a chance of happening? Because unless they're influencing each other somehow, it seems like the odds would be D chances in 2018 × D chances in 2020.
