JOHN DEATON FOR SENATE INC.

ad creative

Ad copy

Massachusetts is the only state in the country where all three branches of government exempt themselves from public records laws. When voters demand transparency through a vote and in court, they try to dismiss it. Apparently your vote only matters when they like the outcome. That’s corruption. Let’s start ending it this November.
