Healey and Minogue advance to general election for Massachusetts governor

The general election for Massachusetts governor is set following the conclusion of the Republican primary process. Former biotech executive Mike Minogue secured the Republican nomination after winning 70 percent of delegate votes at the party convention. During his campaign, Minogue has argued that Governor Maura Healey is bankrupting the state. His primary victory came as other potential challengers failed to reach the threshold required to qualify for the ballot. The upcoming contest is expected to be an expensive gubernatorial fight as Minogue navigates a difficult political landscape for the state GOP. Recent campaign events have highlighted personal crossovers in the race. The governor's sister, Tara Healey, recently attended a Minogue event and posed for a selfie with the candidate.
