At the recent Massachusetts Republican state convention held in Worcester, Mike Minogue, former CEO of a Danvers-based medical device company, secured a commanding endorsement from over 70% of delegates in his bid to challenge Governor Maura Healey. Minogue, a U.S. Army Ranger and veteran of Operation Desert Storm, outperformed former MBTA Chief Brian Shortsleeve, who received 15.5% of the vote. Another candidate, Mike Kennealy, failed to meet the 15% threshold necessary for the primary ballot and subsequently suspended his campaign. In the lieutenant governor race, Anne Manning-Martin, a Peabody City Councilor, qualified for the ballot with 27% of the votes, while Anne Brensley led with 54%. Minogue emphasized his business acumen, military experience, and conservative values in his campaign, which has seen him invest millions of his own money. The Democratic convention is scheduled for next month, where the Healey-Driscoll ticket is expected to face little opposition.
