Baker Taps GOP Losers for Top Spots

Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker’s (R) administration “has hired at least seven failed Republican political candidates, largely concentrated in a business development agency charged with implementing one of Baker’s top campaign promises,” the Boston Globe reports.

“In addition, he named an unsuccessful congressional hopeful to be his undersecretary for consumer affairs, a failed candidate for secretary of state to head the state Office on Disability, and a losing candidate for state Senate to a leadership job in the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs.”
