Deborah Goldberg

Deborah Goldberg served on the Board of Selectmen for the town of Brookline, Massachusetts from 1998–2004, the last two as Chairman, and was a candidate in the 2006 Massachusetts Democratic primary election for Lieutenant Governor.

Goldberg was raised in Brookline and graduated from Boston University (B.A., '75), Boston College Law School (J.D. '83),^[1] and Harvard Business School (M.B.A., '85).^[2]

In the 2006 Democratic Primary Goldberg finished second, in a three-way race, to then-Worcester Mayor Tim Murray with 33%^[3] of the vote.

She received the endorsement of the Boston Herald, but failed to win the endorsement of her hometown newspaper, the Brookline Tab, because, they claimed, she had "been taking too much credit" for the town's accomplishments and had "over inflate(d) the chairman's job".^[4] The strongly-worded rebuke resulted in a vocal reader response^[5] and a separate endorsement^[6] from Stan Spiegel, a Brookline Tab columnist and Brookline Town Meeting member.

Goldberg currently serves as president of the board of directors of Adoptions with Love,^[7] on the board of trustees for Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and on the advisory board of the Taubman Center for State and Local Government at Harvard Kennedy School.^[8]
