The 2008 United States Senate election in Massachusetts took place on November 4, 2008. Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator John Kerry, who remained in the Senate after losing the presidency to incumbent President George W. Bush in the 2004 presidential election, won re-election to a fifth term in office. Kerry carried every county, congressional district, and municipality in the state, with the exception of Boxford. Kerry was sworn in for what would be his last term in the senate serving from January 3, 2009, to February 1, 2013, when he assumed the office of United States Secretary of State in the Obama administration.
