Rep. Ayanna Pressley has secured the Democratic nomination for Massachusetts' 7th Congressional District unopposed, and will also face no Republican challenger in November, effectively guaranteeing her re-election. The uncontested race comes despite a string of controversies surrounding the "Squad" member, including scrutiny of her family's finances and a lucrative state contract linked to her husband, highlighting the safely Democratic nature of her Boston-based district.

Pressley, first elected in 2018 alongside fellow Squad members Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, has continued to campaign for other Democrats, including state Rep. Tram Nguyen and Sen. Ed Markey, while sharply criticising President Trump and the Supreme Court over its ruling against a second majority-Black congressional district. Separately, her 2024 financial disclosure showed she and her husband, Conan Harris, hold $8 million in assets from rental properties, and Harris has faced scrutiny after a firm he partners with won a $2 billion state courthouse contract, a deal now under legal challenge from losing bidders, though Pressley herself faces no accusation of wrongdoing.
