Charlie Baker Worked for John Connally in 1980 Republican Presidential Primary
While in his early 20s Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker worked on the GOP presidential campaign of former Texas governor John Connally, Baker said Thursday.
As a Democrat, Connally served as governor of Texas during the 1960s. He was riding in President John F. Kennedy's limousine on November 22, 1963 when Kennedy was assassinated, and was himself seriously wounded in the shooting.
