Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey’s Re-election Effort

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey, a Democrat, has officially announced her campaign for re-election to the state’s highest executive office. Healey, who was inaugurated on January 5, 2023, is seeking a second term without any Democratic primary challengers.

On Tuesday, the political landscape becomes clearer as Healey discovers her Republican opponent. Two GOP figures have been leading in the polls: Abiomed CEO Mike Monogue and former Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority administrator Brian Shortsleeve. Monogue is currently favored to secure the nomination.

Given Massachusetts’ strong Democratic leanings, Healey is anticipated to maintain control of the governor’s office. The polls close at 8 p.m. EDT, and updates on results can be followed through Decision Desk HQ.
