  The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Massachusetts  were held on November 8, 2022, to elect the nine U.S. representatives  from the state  of Massachusetts , one from each of the state's nine congressional districts . The elections coincided with other elections  to the House of Representatives, elections  to the United States Senate  and various state  and local elections . Only two primaries, the Republicans in the 8th and 9th districts, were to be held, the rest being uncontested.[ 1]   It is also the most-populous state (and the state with the most congressional districts) in which only a single party won seats in 2022.
