Healey targets rising costs and federal immigration enforcement in Massachusetts while touting tax cuts and housing affordability measures from her first term.
- On Tuesday morning, Gov. Maura Healey officially launched her reelection campaign with a two-minute campaign video framing President Donald Trump as a foil.
- Healey says she is running to lower costs, protect health care and SNAP benefits, and advance housing and education initiatives, citing first-term accomplishments.

- Polls indicate roughly 52% approve of Healey's performance, with the race potentially nationalized due to Trump's unpopularity in Massachusetts, as her campaign launches days before the State of the Commonwealth address.
