From Boston-In a pair of major upsets, two longtime state representatives and high-ranking Democrats were unseated in Tuesday’s primary election, according to unofficial results.
State Representative Byron Rushing, the House assistant majority leader and the fourth-highest ranking Democrat in the House, was defeated by Jon Santiago, a Boston Medical Center emergency medicine resident. In a three-person race, Santiago received 48 percent of the vote to Rushing’s 37 percent.
State Representative Jeff Sánchez, a Jamaica Plain Democrat and the House Ways and Means chairman, was defeated, 52 percent to 48 percent, by Nika Elugardo, who has worked for a number of state and local advocacy organizations.
