Just hours after Massachusetts mostly-Democrat legislature voted to pour $250 million more into housing for illegal immigrants, a Republican candidate who has been outspoken against using taxpayer money to shelter them, has won a Senate seat long held by Democrats.

Peter Durant, who in defying an otherwise blue sweep in this week’s special election across the country, took a commanding double-digit lead over Democrat John Zlotnik for the open seat representing Worcester, the New England state’s second-largest city.
