Berard North East Regional Field Coordinator for Mike Lake
Posted: June 27, 2010 Filed under: Politics Leave a comment »Former City Council candidate Ryan Berard has joined the campaign of Auditor Candidate Mike Lake. Ryan sent me some information on Mr. Lake
31-year-old Mike Lake of Boston, who entered the race as an earnest but aggressive newcomer. He completed five undergraduate majors at Northeastern University, and was a White House aide. Now, he’s executive director of Northeastern’s World Class Cities Partnership, exchanging best practices with urban leaders around the world.
“I’m a problem-solver, not a politician. And I think that’s what people are looking for,’’ said Lake. “This is the office that upholds the integrity of state government. It’s challenging, I think, for people to wrap their head around the fact that we might be asking insiders to watch over other insiders.’’
