The Nomination Is Healey s to Take [OPINION]

The primary election is still more than a year away, but it appears as though Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey is in control of her own fate at this point.

State Senator Sonia Chang-Diaz says she is considering a run for governor. There are a host of others considered to be potential candidates for the nomination, including Rep. Ayanna Pressley, former Rep. Joe Kennedy III, Treasurer Deb Goldberg, and former Attorney General Martha Coakley. Even former Lt. Governor Tim Murray is considered to be a possible candidate.

A report last week detailing “multi-system failures” in the death of a Fall River teen has also captured the attention of several lawmakers who want to reform the state’s child welfare systems. And Gov. Charlie Baker’s Friday amendments to a COVID-19 emergency paid sick leave proposal have worried advocates over the amendments’ exclusion of municipal employees.
