Governor Patrick says Coakley dedicated to Boston Haitian Community

Governor Patrick visited Haitian seniors at day care centers throughout Boston to ask them to vote for Martha Coakley, running against Charlie Baker, who Patrick says pays no attention to Haitian communities.

Jean-Claude Sanon says Coakley "has no connection with the community . . . . That's what lost her in 2010 against Scott Brown and it's going to happen again." But Patrick says Sanon is lying, and Coakley is committed to the Haitian community.
