Lt. Gov. Tim Murray could not hold out any longer. On Thursday, he told the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce he’d like to be governor, according to WBUR.
Mind you, he didn’t say he would run, just that he wants to be governor. With the election two years away, starting an official campaign now would be a bit premature.
But Murray’s not alone. Governor Deval Patrick has said he will not run in 2014, leaving the door open for Murray and a host of other aspirants for the office. State treasurer Steve Grossman and 2010 Republican gubernatorial candidate Charlie Baker have also expressed interest in a run in 2014. And it wasn’t so long ago that Scott Brown was greeted with shouts of “Governor!” during his concession speech.
Who do you think should run for governor? Is there someone out of the box you think would make a great leader of the commonwealth? Or do you want one of these Massachusetts regulars to square off for the corner office? Tell us in the comments below.
