Elections for the Massachusetts House of Representatives were held on November 7, 2006, with all of the 160 seats in the House up for election. Since Representatives are elected for two-year terms,[1] those elected will serve from January 2007 until January 2009.
The 2006 Massachusetts Senate election was scheduled for the same date as the House election, as well as Federal and Gubernatorial elections.
[edit] Control of the House
The House currently consists of 139 (87%) Democrats, and 21 (13%) Republicans. The Democrats hold more than a two-thirds majority of the seats in the House. For the Republicans to break that two-thirds majority, they would need to gain 33 Democratic-held seats, a feat that cannot be accomplished in 2006 as only 32 Democrats face Republican challengers. Similarly, Republicans cannot gain the 59 seats needed to take control of the chamber as they are not challenging enough seats. The Democrats are challenging only 8 of the 21 Republican-held seats.
[edit] Election Results
Two seats changed parties, both Republican seats that switched to Democrats. In the 4th Barnstable District, Sarah Peake (D-Provincetown) defeated Aaron Maloy (R-Orleans) to take the seat of retiring Shirley Gomes (R). In the 13th Middlesex, incumbent Susan Pope (R-Wayland) was defeated by Thomas Conroy (D-Wayland). No other incumbents were defeated, and all other open seats were retained by the party holding them.
