AINews Summary

Healey has picked up local endorsements as she seeks reelection, while Republicans have settled on a running mate for Mike Kennealy. A recent poll still showed Healey in a strong position statewide, even as Kennealy led the GOP field. The news still points to a Healey advantage overall, with endorsements and strong approval reinforcing Democratic strength. Kennealy’s running mate pick may help his ticket, but it does not clearly narrow the gap.
