Gail Huff is a former American broadcast journalist and television reporter for WCVB-TV, Channel 5, the ABC network affiliate in Boston[1][2] and the wife of Scott Brown, U.S. Senator from Massachusetts.
She has been employed as a reporter at WCVB since 1993, working the 3-10 a.m. shift while her daughters, Arianna and Ayla Brown were growing up.[1][2][3] During Brown's campaign, Huff stayed away from news assignments that might have affected her husband's election prospects, and never appeared at campaign events until Brown's victory speech on January 20, 2010.[2] She resigned her position at WCVB six months later, citing family considerations.[4]
Huff is a Massachusetts native. She graduated from Waltham High School and attended Bentley College, earning a B.S. in Business Communications.[1] She attended graduate classes at Emerson College before beginning her broadcast career in 1984 as a news anchor at a CBS affiliate in North Carolina.[1][2] At one time, she hosted a parenting series on the Lifetime Television network that featured child psychologist, Dr. Penelope Leach.[1] She starred in singer Digney Fignus' 1984 music video for the song "The Girl With The Curious Hand."[5]
Huff is a fitness enthusiast who in 2007 took a fitness challenge with Navy Seal applicants.[6] She also enjoys biking at the couple's New Hampshire country home.[2]
