As far as local election are concerned both State Rep. Adrian Madaro and State Sen. Joseph Boncore are running unopposed and will return to the State House representing Eastie.
Clerk of Supreme Judicial Court Maura Doyle is also running unopposed as is Michael Donovan, Clerk of Civil Superior Court, and Maura Hennigan, Clerk of Criminal Superior Court.
In statewide races Eastie voters will cast their ballot for Governor and Lieutenant Governor. Incumbent Gov. Charlie Baker and incumbent Lieutenant Gov. Karen Polito will take on Democratic challengers Jay Gonzalez and Quentin Palfrey.
Incumbent Attorney General Maura Healey will take on Republican challenger James McMahon III for the state attorney general seat while incumbent Secretary of State William Glavin has two opponents, Republican Anthony Amore and Green-Rainbow Party candidate Juan Sanchez.
Democratic Treasurer Deborah Goldberg will take on Republican Keiko Orrall and Green-Rainbow Party candidate Jamie Guerin in the General Election next Tuesday while Auditor Suzanne Bump, a Democratic incumbent, will face off against Republican Helen Brady, Libertarian Daniel Fishman and Green-Rainbow Party candidate Edward Stamas.
Incumbent U.S. Sen.

Governor’s Council candidate and incumbent Terrence Kennedy will face off against Vincent Dixon who is unenrolled.
There are also three state ballot questions.
A yes vote on Question 1 would limit the number of patients that could be assigned to one registered nurse in hospitals and certain other health care facilities. A no vote on the question would make no change in current laws relative to patient-to-nurse limits.
A yes vote on Question 2 would create a citizens commission to advance an amendment to the United States Constitution to limit the influence of money in elections and establish that corporations do not have the same rights as human beings. A vote would not create this commission.
A yes vote on Question 3 would keep in place the current law, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender identity in places of public accommodation while a no vote would repeal this provision of the state’s public accommodation law.
