The Harvard Alumni Who Run Massachusetts

From The Harvard Crimson: Massachusetts governors Mitt Romney, Deval L. Patrick ’78, Charlie D. Baker ’79, and Maura T. Healey ’92 don’t share a party, vision, or even home state. But the four most recent governors of Massachusetts do have one thing in common: a Harvard diploma. 

This week on The Harvard Crimson’s Newstalk, Sally E. Edwards ’26 and Jack R. Trapanick ’26 join host Frank Zhou ’26 to discuss the Harvard alumni who run Massachusetts. What happens when key decision-makers have to make complicated decisions between conflicting parties — and one of them is the school they once called home?
