AINews Summary

A small Massachusetts survey showed Gov. Maura Healey is much better known than the Republican hopefuls, Mike Minogue and Brian Shortsleeve. But more respondents said they would vote against Healey than for her. On the GOP side, Shortsleeve is staying in the race despite Minogue’s party endorsement. Healey still looks like the better-known candidate, but the anti-Healey sentiment in the survey could modestly help Republicans. Low GOP name recognition keeps uncertainty high.
