Gov. Maura Healey doubled down Monday on maintaining privacy for her and her family, after her administration reportedly refused to disclose where she went when she left the state for four days last month. Her spokesperson announced last fall that the governor would not make her travel plans public in advance 'due to security concerns.
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey takes questions from reporters, Jan. 31, 2024, during a news conference in Boston.
Until November, Healey's office regularly informed the press before the governor or lieutenant governor was leaving Massachusetts. Her spokesperson's announcement last fall that the governor would not make her travel plans public in advance anymore was a departure from what's been typical practice of the last few gubernatorial administrations.
Healey's office did not elaborate on the security concerns. But prior to the change in her policy, there was a demonstration of local neo-Nazis outside of the Arlington house that Healey — the first woman and first openly gay governor elected in Massachusetts — shares with her partner and her partner's children.
Healey traveled to North Carolina in October for a Democratic Governors Association meeting without disclosing her trip and it was questions about that undisclosed travel that led her office to. When the governor's office released Healey's monthly calendar for October, it included the times of her flights, the airports she was flying into and out of, and the airlines that she was flying on.
