RGA Congratulates Massachusetts Governor-Elect Charlie Baker

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Republican Governors Association issued the following statement on Charlie Baker’s victory in Massachusetts:

“Charlie Baker’s victory in this race primes Massachusetts for a turnaround,” said RGA Chairman Chris Christie. “Baker’s record of success as a leader, reformer and problem solver speaks to his readiness for this job; his administration will be one that tackles the tough issues, and delivers results for the Bay State. Under Baker’s leadership, Massachusetts will be great again. The Republican Governors Association is proud to congratulate Governor-elect Charlie Baker on his victory.”

The Republican Governors Association was a strong partner in Governor-elect Charlie Baker’s victory, investing $11.2 million, including $10.4 million, to Commonwealth Future IE PAC, which ran 10 television ads detailing Martha Coakley’s proposal for millions in new spending, higher taxes and a record of sticking middle class families with higher bills. The ads also highlighted why Charlie Baker had the right experience and plan to lead Massachusetts forward.
