===Second term=== [[File:Flynn, Ferraro, and Dukakis.jpg|thumb|right|Governor Dukakis with Boston Mayor [[Raymond Flynn]] and Democratic vice-presidential nominee [[Geraldine Ferraro]] campaigning in the [[1984 United States presidential election|1984 presidential election]].]] {{see also|1982 Massachusetts gubernatorial election|1985β1986 Massachusetts legislature|1986 Massachusetts gubernatorial election|1987β1988 Massachusetts legislature|1989β1990 Massachusetts legislature}} Four years later, having made peace with the state Democratic Party, MDC, the state police and public employee unions, Dukakis defeated King in a re-match in the 1982 Democratic primary. He went on to defeat his Republican opponent, [[John Winthrop Sears]], in the November election. Future United States senator, [[2004 United States presidential election|2004]] Democratic presidential nominee, and US Secretary of State [[John Kerry]] was elected [[Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts|lieutenant governor]] on the same ballot with Dukakis, and served in the Dukakis administration from 1983 to 1985. Dukakis served as governor during which time he presided over a high-tech boom and a period of prosperity in Massachusetts while simultaneously earning a reputation as a 'technocrat'.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1988/05/08/magazine/dukakis.html|title=Dukakis|last=Butterfield|first=Fox|date=May 8, 1988|work=The New York Times|access-date=January 22, 2019|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331|archive-date=January 23, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190123010150/https://www.nytimes.com/1988/05/08/magazine/dukakis.html|url-status=live}}</ref> The National Governors Association voted Dukakis the most effective governor in 1986. Residents of the city of Boston and its surrounding areas remember him for the improvements he made to Boston's [[public transport|mass transit]] system, especially major renovations to the [[Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority|city's trains and buses]]. He was known for riding the [[Rapid transit|subway]] to work every day as governor.<ref>{{cite news| url =https://www.nytimes.com/1986/03/23/us/boston-in-transit-war-against-uneasy-riding.html| title =Boston in transit war against uneasy riding| newspaper =The New York Times| date =March 23, 1986| access-date =February 11, 2017| archive-date =August 10, 2016| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20160810162959/http://www.nytimes.com/1986/03/23/us/boston-in-transit-war-against-uneasy-riding.html| url-status =live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url= https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2014/01/31/south-station-may-track-for-new-name-that-mike-dukakis/GBlBTJUC0HJDf94wKYN9yM/story.html|title= Will there be a new Duke at South Station?|author= Michael Levenson|newspaper= The Boston Globe|date= January 31, 2014|access-date= June 21, 2017|archive-date= August 19, 2016|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20160819215801/https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2014/01/31/south-station-may-track-for-new-name-that-mike-dukakis/GBlBTJUC0HJDf94wKYN9yM/story.html|url-status= live}}</ref> In 1988, Dukakis and [[Rosabeth Moss Kanter]], his economic adviser in the 1988 presidential elections, wrote a book entitled ''[https://books.google.com/books?id=01deAAAAIAAJ Creating the Future: the Massachusetts Comeback and Its Promise for America]'', an examination of the [[Massachusetts Miracle]].<ref>Butterfield, Fox (May 1, 1988).[https://www.nytimes.com/1988/05/01/books/what-you-see-is-what-you-get.html?pagewanted=all "What you see is what you get"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305231746/http://www.nytimes.com/1988/05/01/books/what-you-see-is-what-you-get.html?pagewanted=all |date=March 5, 2016 }}.
