Self-Funded CEO Wins GOP Nomination in Massachusetts Primary, Aims for Governor's Seat

A self-funded CEO, Mike Minogue, has claimed the Republican nomination in Massachusetts to challenge incumbent Democrat Governor Maura Healy Sullivan's bid for re-election, winning the state's gubernatorial primary against challenger Brian Shortsleeve. Minogue, a former medical device executive, defeated Shortsleeve, who was a former executive at the MBTA, in a closely contested election. The Republican primary victory sets up a likely rematch with Healy Sullivan in November's general election.
