Dance beats Preston in Democratic primary

With 56 of 57 (98.25%) precincts reporting, Rosalyn Dance is leading Joseph Preston 4,849 (61.93%) to 2,981 (38.07%) in the Democratic primary for the 16th state Senate district.

Joe Morrissey will challenge for the seat as independent in the November election.

Before last year, Henry Marsh had served as the representative for State Senate District 16 since 1991. Marsh won a “a fiercely competitive” five-way contest for the Democratic primary nomination for the then-newly-redistricted district that year, before going on to hold the seat for more than two decades.
