A super PAC formed to oppose the candidacy of Gov. Maura Healey and apparently backing Republican candidate Brian Shortsleeve is turning to AI to take aim at the Bay State’s governor and her policies, becoming at least the second such outside spending group to weigh into the 2026 gubernatorial race.
Commonwealth Unity, the political action committee apparently backing the former Baker Administration MBTA official in his quest for the Republican nomination to the governor’s office, has pulled in just over $1 million in donations in recent weeks and dropped tens of thousands for online advertising in an apparent attempt to meme their way into office.
One ad shared by the PAC is of an artificially generated image that appears to show Healey on the front of a Spirit Halloween costume package
