Healey, the Commonwealth’s Attorney General, is seeking to be the first woman elected as Governor in Massachusetts.
Jane Swift, a Republican was the first woman to hold the position as Governor of Massachusetts, but she was not elected. She took over as Governor when former Governor Paul Cellucci became the U.S. Ambassador to Canada. Swift was just 36, and delivered twins while Governor.
If the Democratic ticket is elected it will be the first time in the history of the Commonwealth a woman has held both the Governor and Lt. Governor seat.
Team Healey-Driscoll will battle Republican Geoff Diehl and Leah Allen. Diehl has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump.
The election is November 8.
