Maura Healey to Face Geoff Diehl in Massachusetts Gubernatorial Race in November
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Massachusetts, the state's Attorney General Maura Healey won the
Democratic nomination for governor on Tuesday. If she wins in November,
she would become the first woman elected governor in Massachusetts.
Healey also becomes the second open lesbian to win a gubernatorial
primary this year, joining Democrat Tina Kotek in Oregon. The Advocate
reports the two could make history in November as the first out lesbians
to be elected governors in the United States. In Massachusetts, Maura
Healey will face off against the Trump-endorsed Geoff Diehl, who won the
Republican gubernatorial race on Tuesday.
