She starts as the front-runner in the Democratic field

Ending months of speculation, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey has announced her run for governor.

The Democrat, who is very popular with the state party’s progressive base, enters the gubernatorial field with a clear advantage in campaign fundraising and statewide name recognition.
