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.
