After voters dismissed a series of Republican challengers, Massachusetts will keep the same all-Democratic slate of constitutional officers when new four-year terms begin in January.
Gov. Maura Healey and Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll cruised to reelection, claiming support from more than 62% of voters statewide as of Wednesday morning, with 92% of votes counted, according to the Associated Press.
Many of the communities in Franklin County and the North Quabbin region reflected the statewide trend. Across the 30 municipalities, Healey and Driscoll won 64.3% of the vote. Only Athol and Phillipston favored Republican candidate Mike Minogue and his running mate Shawn Oliver, who earned 13 more votes in Athol and 159 more votes in Phillipston. There was a tie in Monroe, with 28 votes for each ticket.
The AP also declared Attorney General Andrea Campbell victorious over Republican challenger Michael Walsh of Lynnfield. The Dartmouth Democrat, who has held the top state prosecutor post for the last four years, was leading Walsh 66% to 34% on Wednesday morning with about 92% of the vote counted.
Franklin County and the North Quabbin were stronger for Campbell than the state at large, with nearly 70% of voters supporting the incumbent. Only the towns of Phillipston and Monroe favored Walsh. He won by 64 votes in Phillipston and four votes in Monroe.
Campbell, the first Black woman to serve as the state’s attorney general, thanked voters for believing in her in 2022 and again Tuesday.
“I am going to spend every single day of the next four years proving that belief was worth it,” Campbell said.
Secretary of State William Galvin, who is already the longest-serving secretary of state in Massachusetts history and the longest-tenured statewide elections official in the country, won his matchup against Wayland Republican Anne Brensley, the AP said late Tuesday. Galvin was leading Brensley roughly 71% to 29%, with 92% of votes counted as of Wednesday morning.
Again, Galvin saw even greater success in Franklin County and the North Quabbin region. All 30 municipalities backed Galvin, who won 73.4 % of the vote in the region, amassing 19,277 more votes than Brensley.
Galvin, 76, has said it is “improbable” that he runs for reelection again in 2030.
It was early Wednesday morning before the AP declared that Treasurer Deborah Goldberg would be the victor in her matchup against Belmont Republican Elizabeth Dionne. With 92% of votes counted Wednesday morning, the Brookline Democrat was leading with roughly 66% support, results showed. Goldberg was first elected treasurer in 2014.
As of Wednesday morning, 29 of the 30 local municipalities have submitted results for the treasurer’s race to the Greenfield Recorder, though the same trend seen across all races was once again present in Franklin County and the North Quabbin. One town, Phillipston, supported Dionne, 509-449. Goldberg won the region by more than 15,000 votes.
Auditor Diana DiZoglio defeated Libertarian challenger Al Ozonoff, the AP declared Tuesday night. The Methuen Democrat, who has generated a lot of support among Republicans and right-leaning voters who favor her attempted audit of the Legislature, took roughly 84% of the statewide vote.
Mirroring the rest of the state, DiZoglio won roughly 84% of the vote in Franklin County and the North Quabbin region, besting Ozonoff by 25,779 votes.
The Massachusetts Constitution splits the start dates of the constitutional officers’ new terms in two. The new, four-year terms for Healey and Driscoll begin at noon on Thursday, Jan. 7, 2027. The new terms for Galvin, Goldberg, Campbell and DiZoglio start Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2027.
