Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey has nominated her former romantic partner, Gabrielle R. Wolohojian, to the state's supreme court, defending her choice based on Wolohojian's qualifications and character. If approved, Wolohojian would fill a vacant seat on the Supreme Judicial Court. Healey, the first woman and LGBTQ member elected governor of the state, emphasized that Wolohojian received unanimous recommendation from the state's Supreme Judicial Nominating Commission. However, the nomination has sparked controversy, with some criticizing it as inappropriate due to their past relationship.
