Super PACs Support Republican Candidates in Massachusetts Governor Race

Super PACs have emerged as significant players in the 2026 Massachusetts gubernatorial race, with at least two such groups supporting Republican candidates. Commonwealth Unity, a political action committee that has raised over $1 million, is backing former Baker Administration MBTA official Brian Shortsleeve while opposing Democratic incumbent Governor Maura Healey. The PAC has invested in online advertising that includes AI-generated content targeting Healey's policies on immigration, housing, and economic issues.
