Ahh MA political commercials have started. #MAPOLI

Note that the GOP governor won’t bad-mouth Baker but will swing low talking about working families struggling to live in MA due to tax-addicted politicians in the state house/governor mansion.

Holtec must not be allowed to dump radioactive waste into the delicate ecosystem of Cape Cod Bay. As AG I'll stand up to Holtec and other polluters looking to damage our natural environment in Massachusetts. #mapoli
