"Former Romney official to challenge Keating; Lawyer headed state industrial accident panel" by Joshua Miller | Globe staff, January 02, 2014
A Republican lawyer, John C. Chapman, served under then-Governor Mitt Romney in several capacities, including as commissioner of the Department of Industrial Accidents, which oversees the workers’ compensation system in the state.
Chapman, a first-time candidate, describes himself as a fiscal conservative as well as a supporter of abortion rights and same-sex marriage.

In the 1990s, Chapman said, he spent more than seven years working in the enforcement division of the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
He missed Madoff, too?
He then worked at Tucker Anthony Inc., a financial services firm, before joining the Romney administration.
These are just the kind of guys we need in Congre$$!
After Romney left office, Chapman said, he was a partner at the law firm Duane Morris LLP for about three years before becoming general counsel for the Joslin Diabetes Center….
