Democratic state Sen. Paul Mark cruised to an overwhelming victory over his Republican opponent David Rosa in his bid for a second term to represent Berkshire County and the westernmost towns of Hampden, Hampshire and Franklin counties.
“I’m grateful to the people of our district for the opportunity to continue serving as our senator,” Mark said about his supporters.
As of press time, Mark had received 72.1% of the votes counted, and Rosa 27.9%, with results from Pittsfield, the district’s largest city, yet to announce its results.
