Massachusetts’ newest Republican leader looks and sounds nothing like those in charge of the national party and has a resume full of partisan offenses.

Gabriel Gomez, 47, gave money to President Barack Obama’s 2008 White House campaign. He supports gay marriage. Fluent in Spanish, he once worked for an investment company founded by President Bill Clinton’s former chief of staff, and he personally appealed to the Democratic governor of Massachusetts for an appointment to the U.S. Senate. He’s fine with some gun control and a path to citizenship for undocumented workers.
