Maura Tracy Healey, born at Walter Reed Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, on February 8, 1971, moved with her family at nine months old to Hampton Falls, New Hampshire, where she grew up with four younger siblings.
She attended Winnacunnet High School and graduated cum laude from Harvard College in 1992 with a major in government.
After two years as a starting point guard with UBBC Wüstenrot Salzburg in Austria, she completed law school at Northeastern University School of Law, receiving her Juris Doctor in 1998.
After a federal court clerkship, Healey spent more than seven years in commercial and securities litigation at Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr.
In 2007 Attorney General Martha Coakley hired her to lead the Civil Rights Division, and in that role she directed the state's lawsuit against the federal Defense of Marriage Act; she later headed the Public Protection and Advocacy Bureau and the Business and Labor Bureau.
She left the office in 2013 to seek the attorney general's post and beat former state senator Warren Tolman, 62.4% to 37.6%, in the September 9, 2014, Democratic primary and then Republican John Miller, 62.5% to 37.5%, in the general election, which made her the first openly lesbian woman to serve as a state attorney general in the US.
She won reelection in 2018 with 69.9% of the vote and served from 2015 to 2023.
After Republican Governor Charlie Baker opted out of a reelection bid, she ran for governor in 2022 and defeated Republican Geoff Diehl 64% to 35% on November 8, becoming the first woman voters in Massachusetts had chosen as governor.
Her inauguration as the state's 73rd governor took place on January 5, 2023.
Healey, a Democrat, announced in February 2025 that she would seek a second term and won the Democratic nomination unopposed in the September 1, 2026, primary. Her Republican opponent is Mike Minogue, who defeated Brian Shortsleeve in the Republican primary the same day. Her endorsements include the state's four biggest police unions, which backed her in September 2026, and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, who did so on October 1, 2026.
