Massachusetts is moving closer to one-party rule as Democrats are poised to takeover the governor's office for the first time since 2014.

As attorney general, Democrat Maura Healey sued Trump more than 100 times, the former president has endorsed Republican Geoff Diehl

The field of candidates is set for the November election in Massachusetts.

At the top of their respective statewide tickets as candidates for governor are Democrat Maura Healey, the popular two-term attorney general, and Republican Geoff Diehl, a former state representative, who has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump.

To analyze the race, WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Tim Vercellotti, a political science professor and director of the polling institute at Western New England University.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
