Brian Shortsleeve for Massachusetts WORCESTER, MA — Republican candidate for governor Brian Shortsleeve today announced that former Ambassador and U.S. Senator Scott Brown and his band, the Diplomats, will be rocking the night at the campaign’s convention night party on Friday, April 24th at Off the Rails.
“We are so excited that Scott is taking time from his busy schedule to perform with his band at our party,” said Shortsleeve. “Scott Brown is not only a respected leader who has served Massachusetts and our country at the highest levels, but he’s also a dynamic performer who knows how to bring people together. His presence makes this event something truly special for our supporters.”
