I’ve been proud to call Massachusetts
home for decades – as a student,
a pediatrician, a teacher, a CEO, and
a father and grandfather. Now I’m
giving serious consideration to a
run for Governor. I’d be grateful
for your help.

In 2010, President Obama asked me
to come to Washington and serve as
the Administrator for Medicare and
Medicaid. In Washington, I saw first-
hand both the best and the worst of
government. I was deeply troubled by
the partisan paralysis in D.C., but also
inspired by what good policy and
sound leadership can do.

Massachusetts is a different story—
a better one. We aren’t paralyzed.
We’re pace-setters.

We’re at the forefront of health care,
education, and energy policy
because we’ve shown a willingness to
work together—across our political
divides, across the public and
private sectors—to help each other
achieve shared goals. That’s a
tradition I want to build on.

During the next few months, I’ll be
traveling around the Commonwealth
to hear from as many of you as
possible about your concerns,
hopes, and expectations of our
next Governor. I’m excited for the
opportunity to listen, learn, and
plan with you. Please share your
thoughts here. I will read each
and every one of them.

Warmly,
Don
