BOSTON — Attorney General Maura Healey easily secured her party’s endorsement for governor at Saturday’s Democratic Convention in Worcester, but her opponent, state Sen. Sonia Chang-Diaz, was able to garner enough support to force a primary.
Healey received 2,858 delegate votes, or 71.2% to Chang-Diaz’s 1,155 votes, or 28.8%. The two-term AG said she was “humbled” to receive her party’s endorsement and pledged to be a governor who is “as tough as this state deserves.”
“I’ve said from the beginning that this is a campaign about meeting people where they are. Right now, a lot of people in our state are hurting,” said Healey, who later added “I’m in this to help people. That’s what the people of Massachusetts deserve.”
