BOSTON—In response to today's news reports on Gov. Baker heading out of state for the fifth time for national GOP purposes, Massachusetts Democratic Party Chair Tom McGee released the following statement:

"While Gov. Baker claims he rejects the national GOP brand, his actions speak louder than words. His fifth trip for national GOP purposes comes on the heels of ethical fundraising questions swirling around Gov. Baker for his connections to the Republican National Committee." 

“It is also surprising that Gov. Baker is traveling outside the state to meet with LGBT community members considering his failed leadership on major equal rights legislation at home."
