picture of his OFFICE???[edit]

Why for a photo of William Galvin is there only a photo of his office? He's been the Secretary of the Commonwealth for 17 years; longer than any other statewide officeholder. I simply refuse to believe that someone with the knowledge can not upload a proper photgraph of the Secretary. 74.69.8.195 (talk) 21:35, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, an actual photo of Galvin would be more appropriate.--TommyBoy (talk) 01:24, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Acting Governor[edit]

It should be noted that with the lieutenant governorship vacant, Galvin becomes Acting Governor whenever His Excellency leaves the state until the end of the term. 74.69.9.224 (talk) 18:42, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
