GOP’s Mike Minogue to spend up to $2 billion on campaign to unseat Gov. Healey

Key Points:

• Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Minogue plans to spend up to $2 billion on his campaign to unseat Democratic incumbent Gov. Maura Healey in the November election, a record amount far exceeding typical state campaign expenditures.
• Minogue, a billionaire and former CEO of Abiomed, has largely self-funded his campaign, contributing nearly $1.9 million of the $17.7 million raised, while Healey has raised $4.45 million solely from outside contributions.
• Healey has criticized Minogue as a Trump-backed billionaire attempting to "buy the election," labeling him “MAGA Mike” and emphasizing his alignment with Trump’s controversial policies.
• Minogue rejects the political attacks, positioning himself as a principled outsider focused on integrity and unity, and criticizes the political establishment for favoring insiders over working families.
• The gubernatorial race is set for the November 3 general election, with Healey currently holding a slight cash-on-hand advantage over Minogue.
