In a state already known for leading the pack, Governor Maura Healey’s victory was a slam-dunk for the relentless pursuit of progress and inclusivity.

One of Massachusetts’ most notable firsts is legalizing same-sex marriage – a policy area close to her heart as the state’s first gay governor.

But Massachusetts’ reputation as an LGBTQ+ haven is more than personal to Gov. Healey, it’s just good policy. As anti-LGBTQ+ bills swept the nation, Gov. Healey projected the Commonwealth’s values of inclusivity across the nation, launching billboards reminding queer families they are safe under her leadership.

The Governor also reinforced the incentive to raise a family in the state by codifying reproductive healthcare protections and passing the nation’s most generous Child and Family Tax Credit.

People are ready for what comes next. They’re ready to walk forward. We just have to set the path. We just have to light the way.
