Kennealy has outraised all non-incumbent GOP challengers over past 15 years
Lexington, MA— Mike Kennealy is proud to announce that his campaign committee has raised more than $130,000 in donations in its first three weeks since announcement. This total surpasses the full first-month fundraising totals of every non-incumbent Republican gubernatorial candidate in Massachusetts over the past 15 years, including eventual-party-nominees Charlie Baker in 2010 and 2014 and Geoff Diehl in 2022.
“This outpouring of support sends a powerful message: the people of Massachusetts are ready for new leadership. The Healey Administration has failed on affordability, public safety, housing, energy and managing the migrant crisis. I’m honored to stand with Bay Staters from across the Commonwealth and lead this fight for a better future. Thank you to the generous contributors who made this milestone possible” said Republican candidate for Governor Mike Kennealy.
In addition to Mike Kennealy’s personal commitment to invest $2 million into the campaign, he is strategically positioned to compete and win in 2026.
