November 11, 2022, 3:07 PMMassachusetts Gov.-elect Maura Healey speaks to reporters as Gov. Charlie Baker listens during a press conference, Nov. 9, 2022, at the Statehouse, in Boston.On election night in Massachusetts, Maura Healey made history as the state's first female elected governor.
MAURA HEALEY: Well, good afternoon and it's great to be with you. Happy Veterans Day to all out there. It's been an incredibly exciting couple of days. It was a fantastic election night because not only was I fortunate enough to be elected, but we also elected so many women up and down the ballot here in Massachusetts.
HEALEY: Well, you know, I give credit to the team in my office. We worked hard over the last eight years, taking on some of the big fights. We went after Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family for the devastation they caused. And, you know, there were so many cases and investigations where I think people understood that I was about standing up for people in the state.
I think it was really a reflection of the candidates who we are, what we say we're going to do, what we're about. I also think in this moment here in Massachusetts, the voters were really clear. I was running against a person who was Trump's campaign manager in Massachusetts, chaired his campaign. He wanted to return Trumpism to Massachusetts. And the voters just rejected that.
HEALEY: Well, I'm really excited for this opportunity. There's a lot of challenges ahead. There's a lot of work we need to do here in this state. But I can tell you that my team and I, and my teammate Kim Driscoll together were the first all-female ticket elected in the country. And we just want to get after it and get things done.

I look at folks, they'll know you were a really good ball player at Harvard, I believe co-captain. You all were conference champs, I believe, at some point when you were there as well.
