Fall River Mayor Paul Coogan publicly endorsed Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey in her reelection campaign. This came during Healey’s campaign stops in Southeastern Massachusetts, including New Bedford and Fall River, where she was joined by local leaders like Coogan and New Bedford Mayor Jon Mitchell (who also endorsed Healey this week).
Coogan praised the administration’s investments in the region, interjecting positively during Healey’s remarks at a Fall River event about the “ton of” state investments in the South Coast area.
Healey, a first-term Democrat facing no primary challenger but aiming to counter GOP gains in areas like Bristol County. Fall River voted 51% in the 2024 Presidential election.
Coogan’s endorsement—echoed in Healey’s social media post proudly welcoming him to “Team Healey-Driscoll”—builds on prior alliances, including his earlier backing during her 2022 gubernatorial run, and underscores Democratic efforts to solidify support in key communities amid a competitive general election landscape.
