Shortsleeve Statement on Applegreens

September 24, 2025

BOSTON, MA – Today, Marine Corps Veteran, successful business leader, and proven government reformer Brian Shortsleeve, Republican candidate for governor issued the following statement:

“This was a bad deal from the start, and another example of the Healey administration putting insiders ahead of taxpayers who stood to lose out on $900 million. The lease with Applegreen’s was a sweetheart contract cooked up behind closed doors and was exactly the kind of Beacon Hill inside dealing and financial mismanagement that drives costs up and erodes public trust. Taxpayers deserve a governor who works for them, not for special interests.”
