BOSTON — Republican gubernatorial nominee Mike Minogue spent Election Day in Massachusetts urging voters to the polls in a series of posts on X, pitching himself as "a new kind of Governor" in his bid to unseat Democratic Gov. Maura Healey.

"Polls are open. Go make your voice heard!" Minogue wrote Tuesday, alongside a video of him speaking into a microphone in front of an American flag.

In another post, Minogue said, "The people of Massachusetts want a new kind of Governor who will solve problems and listen to the people. I'm ready to serve." The accompanying video, captioned "You answered the call to serve the people of Massachusetts," showed the candidate in shirtsleeves and a red tie at a crowded event.

A third post struck a unifying tone. "We are not political enemies. We are neighbors," Minogue wrote. "Massachusetts is working for some, but not all. If you're among those it's not working for, join us." The post included a photo of a large crowd.

In his most recent post Tuesday afternoon, Minogue said Massachusetts "wants a Commonwealth that's AAOK," which he described as one with "accountability, affordability, opportunities and to keep communities safe." The post included a video of a woman speaking into a microphone at a campaign gathering.

The posts echo themes Minogue has pressed throughout the race. The former Abiomed CEO and Army veteran won the Republican nomination over Brian Shortsleeve in the Sept. 1 primary and has made affordability a centerpiece of his campaign. After winning the primary, he told supporters, "Change is coming November 3rd. It's time for a new kind of governor," according to WAMC.

Healey, who ran unopposed for the Democratic nomination, is seeking a second term with Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll as her running mate. Independent Andrea James is also on the ballot.

Minogue enters Election Day trailing in public polling. A University of Massachusetts Amherst/WCVB poll of 800 registered voters, conducted Oct. 5-12, showed Healey leading Minogue 57% to 32%, with James at 6%.

Polls in Massachusetts close at 8 p.m. Voters in line at closing time will be allowed to cast a ballot.
