JOHN DEATON FOR SENATE INC.

Ad copy

Ed Markey says Massachusetts needs leaders with a spine. Yet when Seth Moulton and I agreed to debate in June, Ed Markey...MIA. Now I'm challenging the winner of the Democratic primary to five one-hour debates on the issues that matter most to Massachusetts families. No scripts. No excuses. Let's see who has the spine to accept.
