Charlie Baker, Donald Trump and the Future of the Massachusetts GOP

GEORGETOWN, Mass. — With a little less than two weeks left until Republican State Committee members vote to decide on whether to retain Quincy's Kirsten Hughes as party chairman, one person was noticeably absent from Thursday night's candidate's forum: Hughes.
Sources close to Hughes said the event, sponsored by the Georgetown Republican Town Committee, was advertised without her input and that Hughes had previously scheduled family commitment that conflicted with the forum.
