        The first Democrat has formally announced a run for governor of Massachusetts in 2018.

        Jay Gonzalez, a veteran of the administration of former Gov. Deval Patrick, announced Monday that he plans to challenge Republican Gov. Charlie Baker, who is expected to seek re-election to a second term.                   

        Gonzalez, a former health care CEO, was Patrick’s first budget chief. 

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
