With contested Republican primaries for two of the nine U.S. House seats in Massachusetts, state conservatives aren’t feeling as blue as the Democrats have historically left them feeling.

Kennedy died from complications stemming from brain cancer. After his special election victory, Brown lost his reelection bid to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).
