Suffolk was honored to host Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey and Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll, the first all-women team to lead the state, when they swung by Suffolk’s Michael and Larry Smith Court to shoot some hoops together the day before their inauguration festivities.
Basketball and politics are passions for both women. Driscoll, a former Salem mayor, and Healey, who served as Massachusetts attorney general, both played college ball, with point guard Healey co-captaining her team as a Harvard senior and later playing professionally in Austria. “Kim and I feel like actual teammates. There is certainly crossover when it comes to politics,” Healey said.
The pair’s inaugural theme was “Moving the Ball Forward” and included a celebration at TD Garden, home of the Boston Celtics, following their time on the Suffolk campus.
