Former Romney legal counsel launches Mass. Senate campaign
By Alexandra Jaffe - 02/07/13 06:13 PM ET
State Rep. Dan Winslow (R ) announced Thursday he will seek the Republican nomination in the special election to replace former Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) — becoming the first GOP candidate to formally enter the race.
"As a native of Western Massachusetts, a hardworking middle class family, and as an experienced problem solver, I believe that the next two years will be our last, best opportunity to avoid the tipping point of a runaway deficit and crushing federal debt," Winslow said in a release.

An attorney, Winslow has served in the Massachusetts state legislature since 2011.
From 2001-2005, he served as then-Gov. Mitt Romney's chief legal counsel, which Massachusetts Democratic Party Chairman John Walsh singled out in an statement released earlier this week, after Winslow indicated his interest in the race.

That Romney connection should make him a shoe-in.
