Democrat Maura Healey won her race for Massachusetts Attorney General and will become the nation's first openly LGBT attorney general, beating Republican John Miller.
With 80% of the vote in, Healey is leading 63% to 37%.
Said HRC President Chad Griffin in a statement:
"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. 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."
