Write in for Secretary of State Anne Brensley! Just her name is sufficient.

It’s Mass so the freaks will win hands down even if conservatives vote 4vtimes each.

Massachusetts is gone. Feggedabowdit. Let’s locate data centers throughout the doomed state. Ship the corrupt leftist population to Europe where they can romp with the Muslims.

If all four conservatives in the state vote, it won’t make a difference.

If anyone is in Norfolk County, vote for Adam Deitch for DA. He was the Fibbie who saw the corrupt MSP (msp13 as its nicknamed) and left his position to run as DA to de-corrupt that county. See Karen Read.

Don’t vote for Minogue. Former Demonrat, has contributed to every Demonrat since Ted Kennedy. Grok it.

Shortsleeve also donated to Democrats. I will never understand that.

You prefer pro-infanticide Shortsleeve, who says he would have done the same as Healey on the recent abortion-till-birth bill?

No thanks. Mike Minogue ALL THE WAY!

Okay, I will:

Brian Shortsleeve, a Republican candidate for Massachusetts governor, has said he supports Gov. Maura Healey’s recently signed abortion bill and would have signed it himself.

Through campaign spokesperson Pat Nestor, he stated he is “pro-choice and believes these deeply personal decisions should be made between a woman and her doctor.” Nestor added that the legislation “is largely consistent with protections already established under current Massachusetts law.”

blah blah blah

Shorty uses projection, stating Minogue did that.

Truth is Minogue as CEO of Abiomed donated to all flavors of politicians, however personally Minogue does not donate to 'Rats.

Shorty, on the other hand, is a tool of the Baker admin and Baker sphere. He personally (verify this on OCPF.us) donated thousands of $'s to dem AG Goldberg around the same time that a Republican was running (Jay McMahon).

Shorty is now abandoning R's, and relying on dem-leaning unenrolled and/or dem temporarily switching enrollment to pull a R ballot just to vote for Shorty.

In an audience of activist republicans, representatives of all the towns and cities, with about 1200 delegates (at the MA convention), Minogue got 71% of the vote. Shorty barely got past the minimum to be on the ballot, 15.5%. The third guy, Kennealy at 14.5%, pledged his support to Minogue.

We invited Minogue and Shortsleeve to our monthly Republican Town Committee and only Minogue appeared.

He stayed for the entire hour and a half, and answered every question honestly we threw at him, and we threw a lot at him.

And in his campaigning (as well as his speech at the convention in April) Minogue didn’t say anything in those he didn’t say to us.

Shortsleeve sent some young media guy, which didn’t bug me-they are busy, I know.

But Minogue came. And it was clear that he wanted to get in from of the Mass GOP which would rather have a candidate like Shortsleeve. IOW, someone they knew who wouldn’t win, in my opinion. So I admired Minogue’s energy and organizational plan to get out in front of things, and this was back in February 2026.

And I would have voted for Shortsleeve had he won at the convention. (I was at the convention, and Minogue got 70+ percent of the delegate votes) but I am wholly disgusted with Shortsleeve.

They have resorted to spamming me with negative campaigning about Minogue, exactly as a Democrat would do. If it came to Shortsleeve or Healy in the general election, I would hold my nose reluctantly and vote for Shortsleeve, but I would also know he has zero-ZERO chance of winning because...you cannot out-left a genuine Leftist.

I find Shortsleeve and his campaign disgusting, just what I would expect from someone who was involved in the RINO Charlie Baker Administration who counted for little more than the controlled opposition in this state. Now, as opposed to someone who might have voted for him due to his service in the USMC, I dislike him and will only vote for him if the alternative is someone like Healy.

Which means he is a loser in any case.

Hey there, fellow local committee goer!

The most important "race" is Secretary of State, which since there is nobody on the ballot, it is vitally important to write-in activist 'Anne Brensley'. A mere 5,000 write-ins statewide places her on the November ballot - very doable.

Another good write-in where there is "somebody" on the ballot is Lt. Gov. Shawn Oliver is paired with Shorty, both questionable characters for the Deep State.

For Lt. Gov write in 'Anne Manning-Martin'. Her hill to climb is high, but nobody should vote for Oliver.

Voting for a Demonicrat is identical to giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.

I'd love...absolutely *love*...to see Brian Higgins up on murder charges. In fact I'd love to see him get the same treatment that the cop who murdered Sandra Birchmore is getting...FEDERAL MURDER CHARGES. That cop could get the death penalty. Let's hope that Brian Higgins gets it too.

As for the coverup conspirators....20 years at SuperMax in Colorado would be just fine!
