This morning’s announcements, showing the groundswell of support across the state for the Governor and Lieutenant Governor’s campaign across endorsements, volunteer efforts and fundraising, demonstrate that the Healey-Driscoll campaign is organized to win and their message, centered on lowering costs for people and standing up to President Trump’s harmful policies, is resonating.
“Our amazing team is pulling out all the stops to reach and engage voters all across our state, and educate them about the choice they will face on the ballot between steady leadership and two opponents who want to bring MAGA to Massachusetts,” said Healey-Driscoll Campaign Manager Katie Prisco-Buxbaum. “This weekend showed that dedicated volunteers from every corner of our state are fired up to help reelect Governor Healey and Lieutenant Governor Driscoll, and we’ll continue making the case for a more affordable, safer, and more welcoming Massachusetts to every voter we can.”
