CONCORD - Former Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker said if he ever decided to run for president, it would come down to how his family feels about it.

Baker was at the Concord Museum Thursday night to promote and sign copies of his book "Results: Getting Beyond Politics to Get Important Work Done."

When an audience member told Baker he should run for president, he said, "Being in public life is hard on other people in your family. The hours are nuts and all the rest ... I would never say never to anything associated with public life ... but it would have to be a real family decision because it's challenging, with respect to that. When you're doing the work, you get the benefit of the work, what your family gets is the burden of the job and that's about it."
