BOSTON – A high-ranking member of the Massachusetts Republican State Committee on Friday deflected reports that Gov. Charlie Baker is quietly working to help elect more moderates to the panel and weed out representatives of the party's more conservative wing.
"Many of the incumbents the governor is supporting are conservative in their beliefs," Chanel Prunier, the state committee member, told NewBostonPost by email. "They are, after all, Republicans."
Charlie Baker and Deval Patrick: Two very different Massachusetts governors. While it is obvious that Baker and Patrick share different political philosophies, they also have vastly different leadership styles.
Where Baker digs into details; Patrick focused on the big picture. Where Baker is all facts and figures; Patrick emphasized rhetoric. Where Baker is a technocrat, Patrick was an ideologue.
