With all the Democratic opponents out of the way in last month’s primary, Sal DiDomenico, an Everett city councilor, was elected state Senator Tuesday.

DiDomenico, a Democrat, was up against John Cesan, a little-known Independent from Agawam. He ascends to the seat previously held by Anthony Galluccio, who resigned in January and is now behind bars after failing Breathalyzer tests while under house arrest because of his alleged role in a fall hit-and-run accident.

In Saugus, DiDomenico won 124 votes while Cesan won 22 votes. He repeated the success of last month’s Democratic primary when he easily outpaced five challengers locally for the party’s nomination.

DiDomenico will represent Precincts 2, 6 and 10 in Saugus.

Over in Everett, campaign supporters introduced DiDomenico as “senator-elect” at a celebration at Shooter’s in Everett.

DiDomenico, the 38-year-old former chief of staff for embattled former state Sen. Anthony Galluccio, is expected to be sworn in May 20. He said he would resign his seat on the Everett City Council this coming Monday.

“I’m looking forward to being a senator,” said DiDomenico.
