MA-SOS: MA Secretary of State (D) is running for a ninth term. What to know

Massachusetts Secretary of State William Francis Galvin, already the longest-serving secretary of state in the country, is running for his ninth consecutive term, he announced Feb. 4.

“I will be seeking to extend my service as Secretary of State through 2030,” he said in a letter.

Galvin, who has been Secretary of State since 1995, is running to keep his seat for three reasons, he said in his announcement: to protect voter rights, to prevent interference with the 2028 election and to get a complete and accurate count in the 2030 Census.

“As the longest serving state elections administrator in the nation, it is my intention to expose and resist any such efforts wherever attempted,” Galvin said of what he sees as federal efforts to interfere with the presidential election.
