Charlie Baker

Charlie Baker is an American politician and the 72nd Governor of Massachusetts. After being the pillar of ‘Harvard Pilgrim Health Care’ for almost a decade and escorting the firm to great success, he was the more obvious choice as governor for the citizens of Massachusetts. Politically, he gained sound knowledge of administration working as a cabinet official under two governors of Massachusetts. Having established a career both in business and in politics, Baker resounded at his campaigns that his aim on taking the governor’s seat would be to assist in the development and improvement of small industries and firms in the department of health, reiterating the fundamental concepts of job sustainability and the policy of education for all. Coming from a family with first-hand experience in politics, Baker grew up with political discussion at the dinner table. The education he received was both affluent and top-notch. Ever since he assumed office, he has remained in spot light and has been largely liberal on social issues though he is one who firmly demonstrates fiscal conservatism.
