Danielle Gregoire, 29, was LeDuc's top aide, and has dutifully filled in for him since his resignation this spring. She has been a staffer on Beacon Hill for five years, establishing relationships, learning the details of the legislative process and handling constituent services. Along the way, she managed to earn a law degree and be admitted to the bar.
