Back in Mass., Healey to talk election results
BOSTON (SHNS) – Gov. Maura Healey, whose candidates and causes had a rough day on Tuesday, is slated to hold a post-election availability with reporters Wednesday afternoon in the corner office.
Healey and Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll will gather at 1:30 p.m. in the executive suite, the governor's office announced Wednesday morning.
Healey was in New Hampshire on Tuesday to rally support for Democrat Joyce Craig, who lost her gubernatorial bid to Republican Kelly Ayotte. Healey was supposed to spend Tuesday evening at the Massachusetts Democratic Party's watch party at the SoWa Power Station in Boston's South End, though she never showed up. Party Chair Steve Kerrigan told the crowd at around 8:20 p.m. that Healey was still in New Hampshire, and Treasurer Deb Goldberg said the governor could not "tear herself away" from the state's northern neighbor.
"She was there to talk to every last voter that she could get her hands on," Goldberg said. "And there I was, passing out the water bottles, to make sure they stayed in the lines."
As attorney general and governor, Healey has been among the chief critics of Donald Trump, who is now poised to serve as president during the final two years of Healey's four-year term.
