Massachusetts Republicans hold a state convention in Boston Saturday to endorse candidates for statewide office.
Except for presumptive gubernatorial nominee Charlie Baker and his running-mate Karyn Polito none of the other Republican candidates have run for state-wide office. So the early in the election year convention will be an important coming out party for the statewide ticket, according to MassGOP Chair Kirsten Hughes.
" I think it is about making the case to voters who are un-enrolled, and exciting the base. That is what I see our candidates doing right now."
More than two thousand delegates have registered for the convention, which is being held in Boston for the first time in 24 years.
