JOHN DEATON FOR SENATE INC.

Ad copy

$100 million of your tax dollars for the legal defense of illegal migrants fighting deportation. That’s f******* insane. While your electricity bills go up, childcare skyrockets, they refuse to lower income taxes, and you keep paying more at the pump. How is this good for Massachusetts? How is this good for America? It’s not. They’re mocking us.
