2022 Massachusetts gubernatorial election

Republican former state representative Geoff Diehl, Democratic state Attorney General Maura Healey, and Libertarian Kevin Reed sought to succeed incumbent Governor Charlie Baker, who did not seek re-election after two terms.

Primary elections were held on September 6, with Diehl and Healey winning against minimal opposition.

Due to Massachusetts's strong liberal lean and Diehl's conservative political views, Healey was widely expected to win the election.

The election was called for the Democrat shortly after polls closed, with Healey becoming the first woman ever elected governor of Massachusetts[a] and the first openly lesbian governor to take office[b] in United States history.
