Onto the next election – but don’t panic, it’s not the 2020 race for President. Last week, Democrat Jay Gonzalez announced his challenge to incumbent Governor Charlie Baker in 2018. Gonzalez is a former cabinet secretary under Deval Patrick, and in that role, he oversaw the creation of the health connector as Massachusetts phased in universal health care. Since he left public office, he has served as president and CEO of affordable health insurance provider CeltiCare – a position he left in December. Gonzalez (@jay4ma) joins Jim to talk about his record with the Patrick administration – and why he thinks he’s better for Massachusetts than Gov. Baker.
