For the first time in history, women will serve as both governor and lieutenant governor of an American state with the victory from Healey and her running mate Kim Driscoll.

Maura Healey is the first woman *elected* governor of Massachusetts (a woman has previously served as acting governor).
Healey will also be the first out lesbian governor of a U.S. state (Oregon's Tina Kotek may share this breakthrough later tonight).
