Governor Maura Healey

Happy Women’s History Month.

Every March, we celebrate the women moving Massachusetts forward — in classrooms, labs, businesses, on the playing field, and in government.

Let’s make sure every girl in our state knows there's no limit to what she can achieve. Happy Women's History Month!

My thoughts and prayers are with our service members in harm’s way, and with the families who bear the weight of their sacrifice every day.

We’re closely coordinating with state and local public safety officials after recent U.S. military operations in Iran.

There are no credible threats to Massachusetts, and keeping our communities safe is always our top priority.

Incredible teamwork happening in Fall River as we dig out from a record-breaking storm.

We surged resources to the region. With the help of nearby states and National Guard, we're making progress.

Huge thanks to crews working nonstop and neighbors pitching in. We’ll get through this together.

Massachusetts: we haven’t seen a blizzard like this since ’78. We’ve made real progress clearing roads and restoring power — but we’ve got work left to do.

We’ve surged resources to the hardest-hit communities, and our teams are working around the clock to get the job done.

We’re proud of the strong relationship we share with Canada — built on partnership, trust and always having each other’s backs.
 
Right now, Canadian utility crews are helping restore power on Cape Cod. Grateful for their hard work 🇨🇦🇺🇸

I’ve been briefed on the house fire in Taunton. State Police and fire officials are on-scene, and we’re asking residents to avoid the area so our teams can investigate.

I’m keeping those hurt in the explosion, their loved ones, and their neighbors in my prayers.

When winter hits hard, New York and Massachusetts are on the same team.

Game Day? That’s a different story.

Truly grateful to @governor.ny.gov for sending equipment to support snow removal efforts in our state.

In his State of the Union, Trump told Americans not to believe what they’re seeing and feeling — higher prices, cuts to health care and food support, dangerous ICE tactics.

Whatever’s happening in Washington, my focus in Massachusetts is simple: lower costs and deliver on what matters to you.

President Trump says he’s “solved” affordability.

Tell that to families paying more at the grocery store. More for housing. More for energy. More for health care.

If it doesn’t feel solved, that’s because it’s not. Trump is making it worse.

With record-breaking snowfall across Massachusetts, getting through this storm took a true team effort — and digging out will too.

And as always, Team Massachusetts is stepping up, looking out for one another, and getting it done.

Let’s give them the space they need to get the job done safely and quickly.

Pay attention to local restrictions and parking bans, and drive carefully if you do need to travel.

Crews are out in force clearing snow, and utilities are working around the clock to restore power.

I’m heading down the Cape to check in on storm recovery efforts and support our local teams on the ground.

While I’m lifting the travel ban for Southeastern Massachusetts, I’m still urging everyone to stay home and off the roads if you can.

While most of us stayed inside, you were out there in the wind and snow, keeping everyone safe.

On behalf of the people of Massachusetts, thank you for showing up and getting it done.

As we start to shovel out, I want to thank the plow drivers and public works crews working nonstop to get Massachusetts moving.

A huge thank you to our first responders who answered every call, and the health care workers who worked extra hours to take care of others.

While the travel ban only applies to motor vehicle travel in Bristol, Plymouth, and Barnstable counties, I strongly urge everyone to stay off the roads no matter where you live.

For your safety, and for the safety of our plow drivers and first responders: stay home.

STORM UPDATE: I'm issuing a travel ban on all non-essential driving in Southeastern Massachusetts — and reducing the speed limit on the Pike to 40mph.

Whiteout conditions are making travel extremely dangerous. If you get stuck, help will have a hard time reaching you.

We’ll be providing updates and the storm progresses, but in the meantime, visit Mass.gov/Snow for more safety tips.

I’m grateful to the first responders and local and state workers who’ll be out keeping us safe during the storm. Remember to look out for your neighbors and help each other get through this safely.

Prepare for the possibility of power outages by charging your devices and making sure you have a flashlight and batteries on hand. Take precautions with fireplaces, space heaters, and generators. Clear snow exhaust vents and fire hydrants near your home.

MassDOT is already pretreating roadways and preparing to deploy over 3,000 pieces of equipment. I’m urging residents to stay off the roads unless absolutely necessary and pay attention to local parking bans.

Tonight through Monday, we’re expecting a winter storm that could bring two feet of snow to parts of Massachusetts.

I’m declaring a State of Emergency, activating the State Emergency Operations Center and National Guard, and am directing non-emergency state employees to work remotely tomorrow.

For years, governors and presidents of both parties have met to get things done. Trump turned it into a farce. He’s afraid to hear the truth of how he’s made life harder and more expensive.

I’ll work with anyone to get results—but if the President isn’t serious, we’re not going to waste our time.

In Massachusetts, I'm going to keep working hard every day to lower the cost of housing, energy and health care — and I’ll continue to oppose these tariffs in the strongest possible terms.

Trump's EPA revokes scientific finding that underpinned US fight against climate change The Environmental Protection Agency has revoked a key scientific finding that supported U.S. regulations on greenhouse gas emissions.

Rolling back the Endangerment Finding puts us on a path towards more extreme heat, severe storms, and devastating floods. And that's not just bad for our health — it's bad for our economy.

Yet again, President Trump is putting American lives and livelihoods at risk.

As we work every day to lower costs, I was proud to stand with Joe Kennedy III to announce new support for partners like House of Hope.

For decades, Citizens Energy has delivered reliable, affordable energy to the families who need it most.

My energy affordability bill will make it easier for organizations like Citizens to invest in new projects — and return profits directly to the people paying the bills.

Delivering on Fair Share: How the Healey-Driscoll Administration is using Faire Share dollars to improve education and transportation.
