NEEDHAM, MASS. (WHDH) - Chris Doughty cast his vote for himself on primary day, feeling confident in the steam his campaign picked up in recent weeks.

Doughty has cast himself as a moderate candidate in contrast to Republican gubernatorial rival Geoff Diehl, who’s been endorsed by Donald Trump. Doughty, a businessman, has touted his job creation on the campaign trail, and has promised to protect Roe v. Wade in Massachusetts.

“We feel really good, we feel great momentum,” Doughty said. “This last month, we have (earned) all these endorsements that have come from Gov. Sununu in New Hampshire, we had the Boston Globe, we had the Springfield (Republican), and then recently, we had Howie Carr come on our side.”

Doughty plans to complete campaign stops in Needham and Dedham, where he’ll host his election night party.
