Republican nominate Edith Grundy who she work as Mechanical Engineer and have never held a public office. Colleen Deng ran as an independent and considered as the more progressive candidate .Despite both ran in their primarys unopposed. Derrick Milton were caught up later on with multiple scandals and his approval rating were facing a sharp drop.By the time the election was near,Milton was behind in most of the polls and this race was considered as a likely pick up for republican consider the fact that Deng could have siphoned votes from Milton .At the end, Edith Grundy outperform the polls slightly by winning the race by around 7 points, the best statewide performance for non-incumbent republican since 1970 and carried 12 of the state’s 14 counties,  Derrick Milton ’s only victory coming from urban Suffolk County, home to the state’s capital and largest city, Boston  and Dukes County  .This marks the first time since Rhode island in 2014, candidate from 3 political party were elected to be governor in 3 consecutive elections,  on the other hand ,the US senate election which held concurrently   voted democratic nominee by 12 points and all 11 democratic Representatives of Massachusetts won their elections,  which indicate  20 percent voters were voted on split ticket.Which is a very rare feat in recent times. Colleen Deng attracted many disaffected democratic voters and received over 10% of the vote which was the best showing for 3rd party candidate in a 3 way race since 1913.
