   Murray, who has served key roles for Governor Patrick including  liaison to municipalities and point person in the state’s effort to preserve its military bases, told supporters in an email that he’d decided not to run to succeed Patrick. Murray cited the time commitment and  family responsibilities. His decision opens the door to other likely Democratic candidates including the state treasurer, Steve Grossman
