Gov. Maura Healy Inauguration at TD Garden

Outgoing Gov. Baker takes ceremonial Lone Walk

  On Jan. 5, Governor Maura Healey, along with Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll celebrated their inauguration at a gala event at the TD Garden. Healey became the first woman elected governor of the Commonwealth as well as the first open member of the LGBTQ community to hold the office.

 One of the highlights of the event, locally, was the EHS Marching Band preforming, along with singer/songwriter Brandi Carlile at the celebration at TD Garden.

  Gov. Healey, along with her family, friends and supporters, celebrated their arrival to the State House.

  The day before, outgoing Gov. Charlie Baker exited his office on Wednesday evening for a ceremonial Lone Walk down the front steps of the State House joined by First Lady Lauren Baker, Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito and Second Gentleman Steve Rodolakis as they bid their farewells to supporters, colleagues, and Cabinet members for the historic event.
