The 1990 Massachusetts gubernatorial election was held on November 6, 1990. Republican Bill Weld was elected Governor of Massachusetts for the first time. He beat Democrat John Silber to become the first Republican Governor of Massachusetts since 1975.

Democratic primary

Governor

Candidates

Declared
  • Francis Bellotti, former Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General of Massachusetts
  • John Silber, president of Boston University
Eliminated at convention
  • John H. Flood, State Representative
Withdrew
  • Evelyn Murphy, incumbent Lieutenant Governor
Declined
  • Raymond Flynn, Mayor of Boston[2]
  • Michael Dukakis, incumbent Governor

Campaign

After Flynn's decision not to run, Murphy was the early frontrunner due to her strong name recognition and a solid base of liberal support. In July 1989, she led Bellotti 42% to 18% in a Boston Globe poll. That November, Bellotti had come within 2% of Murphy in another Boston Globe poll.[3]

In January, Silber entered the race and Bellotti ran his first wave of television ads. By this point, Bellotti had taken the lead in the race, polling 38% to Murphy's 20% and Silber's 16%.[3]

The Democratic Convention was held on June 2, 1990 at the Springfield Civic Center. On the first ballot, Bellotti received 42.9% of the vote, Murphy received 37%, Silber received 15.5%, and Flood received 4.5%. Silber's 15.5% gave him enough votes to remain on the ballot. On the second ballot, Bellotti won the convention with 51%, Murphy received 40%, and Flood received 8.5%. Flood was not able to stay on the ballot as he did not receive the necessary 15%.[3]

Murphy's campaign appeared to be badly hurt by the public perception that she was close to the unpopular Dukakis and therefore tried to make a break with the Dukakis Administration.[3][4] Dukakis twice postponed a trade mission to Europe because Murphy hinted at a news conference that she would execute her own economic plan while serving as acting governor.[4] After the incident, Murphy's unfavorable rating rose to 49% in a Boston Globe/WBZ-TV poll, compared to 38% a month earlier.[5]

A week before the primary, Evelyn Murphy dropped out of the race and threw her support to Bellotti.[6]

Results

Despite having Murphy's support and as high as a 15-point lead in the polls at one point during the campaign, Bellotti was upset by Silber, a political outsider who had run a provocative campaign filled with controversial statements known as "Silber Shockers".[7]

Republican primary

Governor

Candidates

Declared
  • Steven Pierce, State Representative
  • William Weld, former United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts
Eliminated at convention
  • Paul W. Cronin, former U.S Representative for Massachusetts's 5th congressional district
Withdrew
  • Guy Carbone, former commissioner of the Metropolitan District Commission (to run for Attorney General)
  • Len Umina, resident of Marlborough (to run as an independent)
Declined
  • Paul Cellucci, State Senator (to run for Lieutenant Governor)[8]
  • Edward J. King, former Governor[9][10][11]

Campaign

At the Republican Convention, Pierce received 2,672 votes (52.6%), Weld received 1,845 (36.3%), and Cronin received 563 (11.1%).[12] Cronin was not able to run in the primary because he did not receive the 15% necessary to make the ballot.[13] Pierce received enough votes to have a "supermajority", which made Pierce the officially endorsed candidate of the Republican Party.[12]

During the campaign, Weld attacked Pierce's anti-abortion stance while Pierce claimed that Weld had changed his position on abortion.[14] Pierce also touted his ability to win a House seat in a Democratic district, while Weld had lost to the Democratic front-runner for governor Francis Bellotti in the 1978 Attorney General's race.[14][15]

Results

Despite losing the convention and trailing Pierce in the polls, Weld was able to come-from-behind and defeated Pierce in the Republican primary.

General election

Campaign

Silber's lead in the polls vanished after his outburst in an interview with WCVB-TV's Natalie Jacobson.[16][17][18][19] His blunt personality and controversial comments led many Democrats to vote for Weld.[20]

Results

Bill Weld defeated John Silber to become the state's first Republican Governor since Francis W. Sargent.
