“My second favorite job to being attorney general was my years cocktail waitressing at a beach casino,” she told me during a campaign stop here. “Probably learned more there than I learned at Harvard.”
Healey’s signature is her time as a basketball player, in college and in a pro turn in Europe. When a campaign stop finds her near a hoop, her aides try to make a ball available. From the start of her electoral career, she has used basketball to drive home two themes: her devotion to teamwork and her toughness.
“When you’re a 5-4 pro basketball player, you learn to take on the big guys,” she declared in the opening ad of her 2014 campaign for attorney general.
As it happens, Healey’s office sued Trump 96 times on policy questions. And in this year’s election, the big guy who has once again demonstrated his dominance of Republican politics is giving her a major assist.
