JOHN DEATON FOR SENATE INC.
Seth Moulton and I just agreed to what voters deserve… a real debate, real questions, and real accountability before September. Massachusetts voters deserve candidates willing to step up on stage, defend their record, and earn every vote. Leadership doesn’t hide from competition. Per usual, Ed Markey is missing. The Wi-Fi down in Maryland must be spotty this week. Article in comments.
