Massachusetts governor race enters final days with nearly 1 million votes cast

Nearly 1 million Massachusetts residents have already voted in the governor's race, but the campaign has not stopped.

Governor Maura Healey held a Get Out the Vote rally in New Bedford on Wednesday evening. She urged attendees to vote for Democratic candidates on every part of the ballot. Healey stated that the election concerns the state and the United States. She added that voters have a chance to fix what is not right.

Earlier on Wednesday, Healey spoke in Attleboro about energy costs and housing. She said her administration is working to add affordable housing options. She also pointed to her energy assistance program for low and middle income families.

Republican challenger Mike Minogue told voters at an ice cream shop in Newton on Wednesday that Healey is failing to make the state affordable. Minogue promised to lower energy costs and provide educational vouchers. He said he is optimistic that he and voters can solve these problems together.

Minogue also spent part of Wednesday walking through Boston's North End to meet residents. He is scheduled to hold campaign events in Lowell and Dracut on Thursday. Healey will head to Western Massachusetts on Thursday to open a new veterans home and honor the state's teacher of the year.

The two candidates are using the remaining days to reach voters in different regions. Healey is focusing on the coast and western communities. Minogue is targeting suburban and urban areas.
