How I lied my way into the US Congress by @Santos4Congress! 🙄🤦🏽‍♂️ #BOSpoli #MApoli

Notorious VOG @NotoriousVOG

If @TheDemocrats truly believe the ONLY reason @Santos4Congress WON'T quit is because he NEEDS the money, why don't a wealthy Democrat just give him $200k, more than his annual salary, to go away? Is that illegal?! 🙄🤦🏽‍♂️ He's positioning for a $$ book deal. #UrbanAgenda #BOSpoli

The Governor’s Council has an incredible amount of power. That’s why more people need to know they have the final say on who our judges are, who serves on our Parole Board, and who receives commutations and pardons. #mapoli

"Isn't the Governor's Council a shadow group of people who have a lot of power?" — my father.

Every week, Massachusetts loses 1,100 taxpayers. You can attract more workers by cutting broad taxes. That’s exactly what other states are doing to successfully attract more workers, people, and businesses. #mapoli
