Charlie Baker, the Massachusetts Republican who lost the 2010 governor’s race to incumbent Deval Patrick (D), plans to announce Wednesday that he will be making a second gubernatorial run.
Top Massachusetts Republican leaders briefed on Baker’s decision told the Boston Globe the former CEO of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care plans to release a video at 10 a.m. ET launching his campaign and then speak to reporters on Thursday.
Baker emerges as the Republican Party’s only well-known candidate within the state after former Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) announced last month he would not seek the governor’s office.
