Baker backs Orrall as national GOP committeewoman

BOSTON – After his slate of endorsed candidates claimed a majority on the Republican State Committee last week, Gov. Charlie Baker appears to be using his muscle to help push out Massachusetts national committeewoman Chanel Prunier, a conservative activist from Shrewsbury.
Baker has endorsed state Rep. Keiko Orrall to take over the national committeewoman post, which will be chosen by the state committee on April 5 at its first meeting since last Tuesday's elections.
