Healy will join three others who have already announced their candidacy in the race for governor — Harvard professor Danielle Allen and State Senator Sonia Chang-Diaz who is the first Latina to be elected to the state senate.

Healey became the state’s top law enforcement official back in 2015.

The 50-year-old has been vocal in her support for student loan forgiveness and in the fight for racial justice.
