Deborah "Deb" Goldberg (born May 11, 1954) is the Treasurer of Massachusetts, serving since January 2015. She was a member of the Board of Selectmen for the town of Brookline, Massachusetts from 1998 to 2004, serving the last two terms as Chairman. Goldberg was a candidate in the 2006 Massachusetts Democratic primary election for Lieutenant Governor.

Goldberg's family immigrated to Massachusetts and opened a grocery store in Boston's North End in 1892. The family opened additional stores and their business grew into what eventually became Stop & Shop, the largest supermarket chain in New England.

Personal life

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] She is married to Michael Winter, with whom she has two children.

Political career

2006 Campaign for Lt. Governor

Main article: Massachusetts gubernatorial election, 2006

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

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.

2014 Campaign for Treasurer

Main article: Massachusetts general election, 2014

On February 27, 2014, Goldberg formally announced her candidacy for State Treasurer.[7] At the Massachusetts Democratic Convention, she was the top vote-getter in the race for Treasurer, winning 38.9% of the vote.[8] Goldberg was the first to release a televised advertisement in the race on August 4, 2014.[9] Goldberg was seated as Treasurer January 21, 2015.

Other work

Prior to becoming Treasurer, Goldberg served as president of the board of directors of Adoptions with Love,[10] was an Advisory Board member of the Greater Boston Food Bank, is a Commissioner on the Town of Brookline's Neighborhood Conservation District Commission, was Senate President Therese Murray's appointee to the Treasurer's Commonwealth Covenant Fund, and sat on the advisory board of the Taubman Center for State and Local Government at Harvard Kennedy School.[11]
