Deval Patrick may run for president, but Jay Gonzalez, Eric Lesser not endorsing yet

The Boston Herald reports:

Former Gov. Deval Patrick might be mulling a 2020 presidential run, but he better not bank on early support from his Bay State political proteges.

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jay Gonzalez — whose claim to fame is serving as budget chief in the Patrick administration — declined to endorse his former boss yesterday.

“I’m going to wait to see who all runs in this Democratic primary for president,” Gonzalez told Boston Herald Radio when asked if he’d back Patrick in what’s likely to be a heavily contested Democratic primary race in 2020.

“I think Gov. Patrick would be a great candidate. He’s somebody who is a great friend of mine, who I had a great experience working with. I think he was a great governor,” Gonzalez said.
