Boston, MA – This weekend, with six weeks until Election Day, Governor Maura Healey and Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll made a series of campaign stops across the state, including in Central Massachusetts, Southeast Massachusetts, and Greater Boston.
Governor Healey began her weekend of campaigning by meeting leaders from the African and Vietnamese communities in Worcester. She then made her way to the Johnny Appleseed Festival in Leominster, celebrating the Leominster community and emphasizing the importance of bringing residents together, before meeting residents at the Hollis Hills Farm Apple Fest in Fitchburg.
As Governor Healey hit North Central Massachusetts, Lieutenant Governor Driscoll joined the Natick Town Day to celebrate local youth groups and non-profit organizations working to make sure kids get the support they need before hitting Leicester’s Harvest Fair.
On Sunday, Governor Healey joined AFT and BTU for their Back to School Drive, meeting educators, parents, and kids, before joining an event in Boston to support the “YES on 9” ballot question to protect Massachusetts’ lifesaving gun safety laws.
Governor Healey wrapped the weekend by joining College Democrats of Massachusetts for one of their day of action canvass kickoffs, where she was joined by Reps. Marjorie Decker and Mike Connolly. In her remarks, Governor Healey emphasized what’s at stake in this election and how important it is for young people to get engaged.
“In Massachusetts, we’re focused on lowering costs and expanding opportunities for young people and working families. With a President that’s trying to roll back rights and raise costs, having a governor who stands up for your future matters more than ever,” said Governor Healey at the College Dems canvass kickoff in Cambridge. “College Democrats, this is our moment to lead. Organize your campuses, talk to voters, and let’s keep Massachusetts moving forward together.”
This weekend also saw canvass launches across the state for the coordinated campaign, with more than 60 canvass kickoffs across the state, including in Attleboro, Cambridge, Revere, Roslindale, and Shrewsbury.
