2000 United States Senate election in Massachusetts
Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy easily won re-election to his eighth (a seventh full) term. For only the second (and final) time in his career, Kennedy polled more than 70% of the vote.
The election was notable for a strong third-party performance from LibertarianCarla Howell, who finished less than a percent behind Republican Jack E. Robinson III. The divided opposition enabled Kennedy to record his highest-ever margin of victory, although he recorded a higher percentage of the popular vote in 1964, and also to win every municipality in the state for the only time in his career.
