Massachusetts voters elected Democrat Maura Healey attorney general on Tuesday. She is the first openly gay attorney general in the country.

EMILY's List, a progressive PAC that supports pro-choice Democratic women, helped Healey win a competitive primary earlier this year and celebrated her historic win Tuesday night.

“Tonight, voters in Massachusetts decisively chose to elect progressive champion Maura Healey Attorney General,” said the group's president, Stephanie Schriock. “Maura has spent years fighting to expand rights and freedoms for women and families in Massachusetts. And now with the help of the EMILY’s List community – three million members strong – she can take that leadership to the next level. There is huge momentum for women’s leadership in New England, and that’s a trend that is here to stay.”

"Maura Healey is one of the staunchest advocates for equality we have in this country, and we join her in celebrating her historic victory tonight," said Human Rights Campaign President Chad Griffin. "As the nation's first openly gay attorney general, she is an inspirational trailblazer and will fight to guarantee civil rights and legal equality for all people of Massachusetts." more
