The decision by Gov. Charlie Baker not to seek a third term created a wide-open race to succeed him, but soon, one candidate among the Democrats stood out.
Attorney General Maura T. Healey is the choice of The Republican to succeed Baker as governor of Massachusetts and usher in a new period of opportunity and growth for the state.
Healey’s reputation as a guardian of the public interest extends beyond state borders. She has earned her place as one who will take on the largest companies or special interests if they conflict with the needs and rights of the consumers.
