Late-starting candidate Deval Patrick lays out policy vision

WASHINGTON — Democratic presidential candidate Deval Patrick has outlined a broad policy agenda while jabbing at his progressive rivals for proposals that he considers too ideologically inflexible.

The former Massachusetts governor held a policy roundtable Thursday in Manchester, New Hampshire, and told reporters afterward that while “others have plans, we actually have results.”

“We got there not by saying it was this way or no way,” he said. “We got there by saying here are the goals and how do we build the coalition to get it done and share the victory.”

The policy goals “are in many cases similar,” Patrick acknowledged when asked how his ideas differed from what other candidates are proposing. “But I don’t think anyone else has the range of experience in actually delivering on some of these things,” he said.
