It is home to approximately 781,306 residents with a median household income of $118,565 — more than triple the national median of $37,585. The district is majority White (65-66%), with significant Asian (9.8%) and Black (9.6%) populations. 20.1% of residents are foreign-born, and 91.9% are U.S. citizens. The district is highly educated (53% bachelor's degree or higher) with a 5.8% poverty rate. Homeownership is 60.9% with a median property value of $638,900 and median rent of $2,161. Key industries include Health Care & Social Assistance, Professional/Scientific/Technical Services, and Finance & Insurance. The district is among the most Democratic in the nation (D+41 per Legisletter; Harris won it 61.2%-36%). Lynch has held this seat since 2001, making him one of the longest-serving members of the Massachusetts delegation. He is a former ironworker and union president who became an attorney and served in both chambers of the Massachusetts General Court before Congress. He faces a significant 2026 primary challenge from Patrick Roath, a 39-year-old attorney endorsed by former Governor Deval Patrick, who argues Lynch has failed to sufficiently resist the Trump administration.","confidence":"secondary","dateOccurred":null,"source":null}],"connections":[{"id":116896,"relationshipType":"donor","description":"$5,000 to Stephen F.
