Both major candidates running for governor in Massachusetts have refused to share copies of their latest tax returns.

The disclosure isn't required by law, but many politicians provide the documents when running for state or federal offices, especially U.S. president.

Massachusetts GOP gubernatorial nominee Geoff Diehl, with less than one week before Election Day, slammed The Boston Globe as a "subset of the Democrat Party" for reporting that a "haphazard campaign strategy" is hurting his chances of pulling out a win in the traditionally deep blue state.

Republican nominee for Massachusetts governor Geoff Diehl joined WBZ-TV political analyst Jon Keller to discuss a variety of topics, including his stance on COVID restrictions and his endorsement from former president Donald Trump.

Diehl was asked if he regrets pushing for Trump's endorsement and distancing himself from fellow Republican Gov. Charlie Baker. In Massachusetts, the former president's approval rating is in the mid-30s, while Baker's approval is close to 70%.

Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker’s administration confirmed its decision to rehire about 50 former state employees who were fired for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine.

In August, Baker announced the vaccine mandate in an executive order that covered over 41,000 Executive Department employees. Most complied or were granted an exemption – primarily for medical reasons, however, as the administration only gave the green light to about 6 percent of religious exemption applications, according to WCVB.

For the first time in the nation's history, Americans from all 50 states and the District of Columbia will have a chance to elect an LGBTQ person to public office.

A new report by the political action committee LGBTQ Victory Fund found that of the 1,065 LGBTQ candidates who ran primary campaigns, a historic 678 of them — the vast majority of which are Democrats — will appear on the ballot in November, an 18.1% increase from the 2020 general election

Both candidates for governor of Massachusetts have made economic issues and affordability the cornerstones of their campaigns. But at last night’s debate, cultural issues were persistent reminders that this election is set against the backdrop of national politics.

Catch up fast: Much of the debate between Attorney General Maura Healey (D) and former state Rep. Geoff Diehl (R) centered on the cost of living, with an emphasis on home heating costs.

Diehl said Healey's dedication to rapidly adopting green energy will only drive up costs for consumers.

A new Massachusetts law that would allow illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses faces a challenge in November when voters will have a chance to block it. 

Those who back the law argue it will improve safety and raise revenue, but opponents say it will serve as a back door for illegal voting and a lure that would bring more illegal immigration to the Bay State.

Opponents argue that it has done nothing to reduce fatal crashes in many of the 16 states that provide licenses to those living here illegally.

Democrat Maura Healey and Republican Geoff Diehl traded jabs Wednesday night in their first debate in the race for Massachusetts governor, sparring over the economy, immigration and abortion rights.

For much of the debate, it felt like a third candidate was on the ballot: Donald Trump. From the start, Healey sought to link Diehl to the former president, who remains deeply unpopular in Massachusetts.

There are good reasons to believe that Democratic gubernatorial nominee Maura Healey's super-comfy lead in the polls is no illusion.

This is Massachusetts, where Donald Trump and most things Republican are widely loathed, abortion rights are widely supported, and the social safety net is not considered an abomination. And in Wednesday night's gubernatorial debate televised on NBC10 Boston, Healey - to use her preferred basketball point guard analogy - found all her favorite spots on the court.
