Boston Globe, March 2026
As potential opponents lined up against her reelection bid and President Trump began upending Washington, Governor Maura Healey significantly scaled back the number of official events she did last year, putting her in the Massachusetts public eye far less often than early in her first term, according to a Globe analysis and data provided by her office.
Healey did 20 percent fewer official events last year — and nearly 100 fewer in total — than she did in 2023 when she first took office. Her public-facing schedule similarly receded: Healey’s 289 public appearances in 2025, as tracked by the advisories her office regularly releases, marked a 17 percent decrease from two years earlier and trailed the number she made in 2024, when she regularly traveled out of state in support of other Democrats in the run-up to that year’s election, the Globe found.
