Celtics honcho Steve Pagliuca weighs Senate run
Boston Herald ^ | 9/14/2009 | Hillary Chabot

Steve Pagliuca, co-owner of the Boston Celtics, is weighing taking a shot at the late U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy’s seat, according to a source close to the Weston resident.

Pagliuca, who has also been considering buying the struggling Boston Globe, would join a heavily populated Democratic field that includes Attorney General Martha Coakley.

Pagliuca declined comment when reached by a Herald reporter this afternoon, but a source close to the Bain Capital managing director confirmed the 54-year-old is thinking about joining the race.

His candidacy is far from a slam dunk, but the well-financed candidate is expected to shake up a race dominated largely by known candidates. While Pagliuca is a registered Democrat, he’s given cash to both Republican and Democratic candidates, including a $1,000 contribution to former President George Bush in 1999.
