Democrats gained 9 seats, increasing their supermajority to 134 out of 160 seats, the largest majority of any party since 2009.[5][6] Simultaneously with gains in the state Senate, and Maura Healey's win in the gubernatorial race, Democrats won a trifecta in the state for the first time since 2014.[7]
These were the first elections in Massachusetts following the 2020 United States redistricting cycle, which resulted in some members being assigned to new districts.[8][9][10]
