Maybe @AlisonKuznitz & @masslivenews know Earl Sholley received thousands of dollars in order to get @RaylaForMA on the ballot. So much for Campbell’s bogus #Mission5000 & photos of her “working hard!” It is not much of a first if it is bought. 💰 💰 💰#Fraud #mapoli #bospoli

@TheDemocrats @GovRonDeSantis @massdems @BOSCityCouncil @Kim_Janey TRUTH IS; Boston's @BOSCityCouncil led by lil @RicardoNArroyo who's running for #SuffolkDA as a "progressive," have peddled same policies as baby Trump @GovRonDeSantis.

Tip O'Neill & Ted Kennedy must be rolling over in their graves.🙄🤦🏾‍♂️
