Former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick is inching closer toward deciding on a 2020 presidential run.

The former two-term Democrat plans to hit the campaign trail in a handful of races around the country this fall, which would “help him sort it out by the end of the year,” said John Walsh, a close adviser who managed Patrick’s 2006 insurgent gubernatorial campaign and later headed up his leadership PAC.

“He’s really thinking about running but hasn’t decided yet,” Walsh, who frequently speaks with the former governor, told POLITICO.

Patrick’s public visibility has increased since saying on a Kansas City radio station on Feb. 28 that a presidential run is “on my radar screen.” But he’s not yet actively working the midterm election circuit because of restrictions related to his position at investment firm Bain Capital.

1. I live in a state that borders Mass

but, I honestly don't remember much about the Patrick era n Mass, other than he's been the only Democratic governor there since the early 90s.
