At Saturday's convention, delegates chose between Republican gubernatorial candidates Geoff Diehl and Chris Doughty, and picked Diehl by a 71-29 margin, which still assures Doughty a position on September's primary ballot.
Meanwhile, candidates for lieutenant governor Leah Allen Cole and Kate Campanale finished 1-2, with Cole outdistancing Campanale by nearly the exact same number.
Candidates were required to obtain at least 15 percent of delegates' votes in order to qualify for the primary in September.
"We are so grateful for everyone who joined us last Saturday in Springfield for what was a very special convention," Lyons said. "The MassGOP is proud to offer voters a true contrast in choices with a slate of candidates that refuse to fall in line with the status quo on Beacon Hill."
