Governor Maura Healey and her Republican challenger, Michael Minogue, made their final campaign stops on Oct. 31, three days before the Nov. 3 election for governor of Massachusetts, the Boston Globe reported.
Healey, appearing in Gloucester in a Halloween costume after an earlier rally in Lawrence, framed the race around President Donald Trump, saying he is "wrecking our economy" and cutting funding for health care, education and research. She has repeatedly cast the contest as a choice between Trump's policies and a check on them, and on the trail she accused Minogue of giving $1 million to Trump after the Jan. 6 Capitol attack and after the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Minogue, a former medical device industry executive and Army veteran making his first run for office, campaigned in Peabody and focused on Healey's four-year record, arguing she has not acted to lower utility bills and blaming her tenure as attorney general for blocking natural gas pipelines.
More than 1 million ballots had already been cast by mail or in early in-person voting, according to the Secretary of State's office. Healey has led in polling despite Minogue putting more than $18 million of his own money into his campaign; a Suffolk University/Boston Globe survey released in October found 59 percent of likely voters backing Healey and 36 percent backing Minogue, with nearly 42 percent saying they would not support a Republican who backed Trump.
