Coakley Named One of Hub's Most Powerful Women
Attorney General and Medford resident Martha Coakley named to the Boston Magazine List.
Attorney General and Coolidge Road resident Martha Coakley has been listed as one of the top 50 powerful women in Boston by a local Magazine.
Boston Magazine's February edition picked the city's most powerful women, and the former senate hopeful and long-time prosecutor made the cut.
The magazine's list includes a "power demo" for each of its picks. Coakley's reads: "Keeping auto insurance low; getting one of the first big settlements from Goldman Sachs; regulating utility costs under Cape Wind. (Okay, so she’s a really bad campaigner.)"
