The 2020 United States House of Representatives elections in Massachusetts will be held on November 3, 2020, to elect the nine U.S. Representatives from the state of Massachusetts, one from each of the state's nine congressional districts. The elections will coincide with the 2020 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate and various state and local elections. The primaries will be held on September 1.[1]

District 1

The 1st district is based in the western and central parts of the state, and includes the city of Springfield. The incumbent is Democrat Richard Neal, who was re-elected with 97.6% of the vote in 2018 without major-party opposition.[2]

College Democrats allegations

In August 2020, the College Democrats of Massachusetts alleged via email that Morse had used "his position of power for romantic or sexual gain" with students at University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he was a lecturer.[7] The email stated that Morse matched with and contacted students, aged 18 and above, on dating apps including Grindr and Tinder.[7] The email did not accuse Morse of having relations with students in his own classes, which would have been against university policy.[8] The groups disinvited Morse from any future events on campus.[9] He denied misconduct, writing "I want to be clear that every relationship I've had has been consensual. However, I also recognize that I have to be cognizant of my position of power. Navigating life as both a young gay man and an elected official can be difficult, but that doesn't excuse poor judgment."

UMass Amherst stated it would review the matter to determine if the alleged actions were in violation of university policy or law, and that it had no plans to rehire Morse.[10][11][12] The local chapter of the Sunrise Movement voted to retract its endorsement of Morse in the race, and the national organization announced that it would no longer campaign for him. Some organizations supporting him - including the Justice Democrats and the Working Families Party - refrained from commenting, while others affirmed their endorsement of Morse.[13]

On August 12, 2020, The Intercept published an article on chat logs shared with the publication, reporting that the accusations had been organized starting almost a year prior as part of a sting operation by UMass Amherst College Democrats in an attempt to aid incumbent Richard Neal. The released chat logs discussed looking for Morse's dating profiles and how to lead him into saying incriminating things, and their hopes of gaining internships with Neal in exchange. The Neal campaign and the UMass Amherst College Democrats both denied any cooperation between the two.[14] Timothy Ennis, the chief strategist and former president of the UMass Amherst College Democrats, had previously completed a class with Richard Neal and was highlighted as a driving force behind the allegations, with members of the group claiming that he saw Neal as his "in" for a political career.[15] Former members of UMass Amherst College Democrats alleged an "anti-Morse bias" within the group.[15]

Massachusetts state senator Julian Cyr stated that the situation is indicative of how "vague and anonymous allegations can be easily launched against LGBTQ candidates to destroy their campaigns".[16] Journalist Glenn Greenwald expressed a similar sentiment, claiming that the allegations were "old homophobic tropes" and described the allegations as a "smear campaign".[16]
