Her mother, Shirley (Cumming) Murphy (b. 1926) worked as a school teacher , and her father, Edward Murphy (1919-2005), was a WWII veteran, later suffered from a heart attack and unable to work. To help support her family, Healey worked during high school.[1] She earned a scholarship to Harvard University, graduating with a bachelor's degree in government in 1982. She also earned a Ph.D. in political science and law from Trinity College, Dublin in Ireland.[1] Nickname: Gateway to the West Location in Nebraska Coordinates: Country United States State Nebraska County Douglas Founded 1854 Incorporated 1857 Mayor Michael Fahey Area    - City 307. ...

In 1985, she married Sean Healey, a businessman, with whom she has two school-aged children, Alexander age 15, and Averill age 11.


Political career

Healey's political career began in the late 1990s when she unsuccessfully challenged Democratic incumbent Michael Cahill to represent the 6th Essex District in the Massachusetts House of Representatives. She then served briefly as chairperson of the Massachusetts Republican State Committee. The Massachusetts House of Representatives is the lower house of the Massachusetts General Court, the bicameral state legislature of Massachusetts. ...


She was elected Lieutenant Governor in 2002 on the Republican ticket with Mitt Romney.


After Governor Mitt Romney's announcement that he would not seek re-election in the 2006 Massachusetts gubernatorial election Healey formally announced on February 8, 2006, that she would seek the Republican nomination for Governor. Healey and her running mate Reed Hillman received the endorsement of the Republican state convention nomination for Governor and Lieutenant Governor, and were the only Republican candidates in the September 19 primary. If Healey wins the general election, she will become the first elected female Governor of Massachusetts (Jane Swift succeeded to the office and was Acting Governor in 2001). DVS SOMERVILLE!!!!

Controversy

During the 2006 Democratic primaries, Healey launched an attack ad against potential opponent Chris Gabrieli that said Gabrieli only supported state funded stem cell research because he owns stock in companies that would profit from stem cell research. Gabrieli said that none of the companies he is invested in have ever done stem cell research, claiming the ads were untrue.[2] While a company founded by Chris Gabrieli, Isis Pharmaceuticals, has not gone beyond the patent process, it is one of the world’s leading patent holders in stem cell research.[2][3] Chris Gabrieli is businessman and American politician. ...

A patent is a set of exclusive rights granted by a state to a person for a fixed period of time in exchange for the regulated, public disclosure of certain details of a device, method, process or composition of matter (substance) (known as an invention) which is new, inventive, and...


Following the primaries, a TV ad by Healey criticized her gubernatorial rival Deval Patrick for serving as the lawyer for the killer of a Florida highway patrol officer gunned down on a rural road. In 1985, Patrick, then a lawyer for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, worked to reverse the death sentence imposed on killer Carl Ray Songer. “Her approach is to protect the victims and Deval Patrick’s approach is always to protect convicted criminals,” said Healey’s campaign manager Tim O’Brien. Now, under Florida law, Songer is eligible for parole.[4] The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), is one of the oldest and most influential hate organizations in the United States. ...


The "Cop Killer" campaign ad was featured on a segment of the Opie and Anthony radio show about negative campaign ads. The ad was criticized on the air for its lack of information about the case. Opie and Anthony Opie (Gregg Hughes, b. ...


Critics of Healey's ad argue that it confuses the proper role of criminal defense lawyers in the judicial system. Patrick argued that Songer hadn’t been sentenced fairly because he wasn’t able to present evidence of his good character during the sentencing hearing. “The federal appeals court agreed with him that [Songer’s] death sentence violated the Constitution of the United States,” said Patrick spokesman Richard Chacon in a statement. Patrick’s campaign has also pointed out that Healey’s running mate, Reed Hillman, lobbied a parole board on behalf of friend James W. Mitchell, who was accused of assaulting a police officer.[5]


Democratic candidate Deval Patrick has also lashed out at Lieutenant Governor Kerry Healey, accusing her campaign of leaking details of the 1993 rape of Patrick's sister by her husband.[6]
