Attorney General Martha Coakley On Her Bid For Governor
Resume
A WBUR poll out Wednesday shows Attorney General Martha Coakley maintaining a big lead in the race for Massachusetts governor. She has been the state's top prosecutor since 2007, where she has overseen a number of high profile legal cases as the attorney general.
But it's a crowded Democratic field, with former healthcare official Donald Berwick and State Treasurer Steve Grossman in the mix. On the Republican side, Charlie Baker is raising more money than his three Democratic rivals. In June, Baker brought in about $400,000, compared to Coakley's $173,000.
