A special election for special election on June 25, 2013.[1] Primary elections were held on October 15, in which Democratic state senator Katherine Clark and Republican Frank Addivinola won their party nominations. State law required that Governor Deval Patrick call a special election between 145 and 160 days after the vacancy became official.[2] On December 10, Clark easily defeated Addivinola with almost 2/3 of the vote, holding the seat for the Democrats.[3] Clark's win marked the 92nd consecutive U.S. House loss by Republicans in Massachusetts since 1996.[4]
