Brian Shortsleeve for Massachusetts BOSTON, MA – Today, Marine Corps Veteran, successful business leader, and proven government reformer Brian Shortsleeve, Republican candidate for governor, secured a decisive victory in the first Republican straw poll, earning 68% of the vote at a regional candidate forum hosted by the Duxbury, Pembroke, and Weymouth Republican Town Committees.
The event, which featured the two key GOP candidates in the race, provided voters an early opportunity for grassroots Republicans to weigh in on the field. Shortsleeve received 48 votes while his opponent only obtained 23 votes. The vote was taken after an hour-long forum of both candidates answering questions. Shortsleeve’s strong performance underscores growing grassroots support he is building across the state.
This victory follows his recent win in a poll conducted by The Jessica Machado Show, where he received 45% of the vote, topping the field of gubernatorial candidates.
“I’m honored and energized by the support from voters across the state,” said Shortsleeve. “These early wins show that our message is resonating. Voters are ready for bold leadership and real results, and they support my mission for Massachusetts.”
Shortsleeve is dominating this GOP Primary in actual funds raised from donors, and now support from voters.
