When American cities were burning and businesses were looted at the hands of Black Lives Matter and Antifa rioters, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healy was recorded on video supporting this destruction: “America is burning, but that’s how forests grow.” The chief law enforcement officer of Massachusetts justified this mayhem and lawlessness, and now she runs for governor. Maura Healy was recorded as proudly crowing how she alone stopped two natural gas pipelines from entering Massachusetts as part of her Green New Deal priorities. How does this play with voters when our heating bills skyrocket this winter because of a shortage of available energy? You have the opportunity to instead vote for Geoff Diehl, a no-nonsense businessman who believes in the rule of law, and has enough common sense to know that Massachusetts citizens need affordable energy to heat our homes this winter. Be careful in your choice of voting for governor: elections have consequences. Please do not vote for political extremism and poor judgment.
