Wayland Selectman Anne Brensley announced Thursday that she has received 30 new endorsements in her campaign for lieutenant governor, signaling growing Republican unity even as the party remains divided in the gubernatorial primary.

Brensley is currently the only Republican running for lieutenant governor. Meanwhile, the race for governor features three GOP candidates: businessman Mike Minogue, former Massachusetts Secretary of Housing and Economic Development Mike Kennealy, and former MBTA Chief Administrator Brian Shortsleeve. The competition has exposed division within the Massachusetts Republican Party as different factions line up behind the three gubernatorial candidates.

Brensley’s campaign said her latest endorsements come from Republicans who support all three gubernatorial contenders, as well as from activists who remain undecided.

The campaign said the coalition is evidence that party leaders and grassroots members are rallying around her candidacy despite their disagreements at the top of the ticket.

“As the only Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor, I’ve had the privilege of letting constituents tell me freely what they want from the position,” Brensley said in a press release emailed to NewBostonPost. “No matter who our nominee for Governor is, Republicans need a Lieutenant Governor who can stand up for them regardless of the Governor election outcome and keep everyone engaged and united.”

The endorsements include four Republican state committeemen: Michael Fountain of Ware, Dave Lunger of Acton, Chris Ryan, and Michael Scarlata.

Several Republican Town Committees (RTCs) also endorsed Brensley, including the Acton, Agawam, and Whitman Republican Town Committees, plus RTC chairmen from Bridgewater, Sandwich, and Orange.

Local elected officials backing Brensley include Wareham School Committeeman Roger Bonin, Agawam City Councilor Peter McNair, West Bridgewater Selectman Jeff Ryan, and Methuen School Committeeman Kenneth Willette.

Additionally, Brensley listed several Republican state legislative candidates among her endorsements.

Brensley said she has heard from municipal officials, small business owners, and families who feel their concerns are not being addressed by the Healey-Driscoll administration.

If elected, she said she would use the lieutenant governor’s office as a direct link between local communities and Beacon Hill.

“These endorsements reflect the work we are doing on the ground,” Brensley said. “I am grateful for the trust of these leaders and activists, and I will continue to earn their support by using action and not just words to represent communities across our commonwealth.”

Brensley, an attorney and CEO, was adopted from Honduras and raised in the Northeast. She has focused her campaign on accountability and transparency in state government.

She previously filed a lawsuit against the Massachusetts Legislature seeking to enforce a voter-approved audit measure that passed with more than 72 percent support statewide in 2024.

Republicans face an uphill battle in November against Gov. Maura Healey and Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll. The election forecaster Sabato's Crystal Ball rates it as a safe Democratic race.

With the gubernatorial primary still unsettled, Brensley’s campaign is positioning her as a candidate who can bridge those divides and help build a unified Republican ticket for the general election.

The Republican primary election will take place on Sep. 1.
