Brian Shortsleeve for Massachusetts BOSTON, MA – Today, the Massachusetts Democratic Party announced the launch of two ads purportedly attacking Mike Minogue. But their strategy is clear: Democrats want Minogue to win the Republican primary because they know he is the easiest candidate for Maura Healey to defeat in November.
Shortsleeve campaign spokesman Pat Nestor issued the following statement:
“Massachusetts Democrats desperately want to run against Mike Minogue instead of Brian Shortsleeve, so they are meddling in the Republican primary with a goal of boosting his candidacy among supporters of President Trump. Primary voters should not take the bait. Brian Shortsleeve is the only Republican who can defeat Maura Healey and hold her accountable for her failed record, and the Democrats are acknowledging as much with this cynical ploy.”
