WORCESTER — Boston City Councilor Josh Zakim, making his first run at higher office, earned the upset endorsement of the Massachusetts Democratic Party convention Saturday, dealing a significant blow to Secretary of State William Galvin and showing that his campaign could be a legitimate threat to the state's longest-serving constitutional officer.
The superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police is going to engage an outside expert to help guide the troubled agency, Governor Charlie Baker said.
Kerry Gilpin, the superintendent of the State Police, is "planning to bring in somebody who is pretty well known, I think, to people in Massachusetts, who's considered to be a pretty sharp law enforcement management strategic expert to provide guidance to her and to her leadership team there," Baker told the editorial board of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette.
