Minogue Surging into Summer

Hello Massachusetts,

After taking a few extra days between editions out of respect for last weekend’s Memorial Day remembrance, we’re excited to bring you the latest “No Maur-a” Newsletter!

A Big Week for Minogue Momentum

MASS GOP frontrunner Mike Minogue submitted a staggering 16,000 petition signatures to the Secretary of State’s office this week to cement his place on the Republican Primary ballot. Minogue, who won the MASSGOP Convention with over 70% of the vote, is laser-focused on a general election matchup with Governor Healey. As he travels the commonwealth, Minogue’s strength continues to build, as voters across the political spectrum embrace his positive AAOK agenda: Accountability, Affordability, Opportunity & Keeping communities safe

Healey and Mass Dems Put Illegals First

While Mike Minogue is running a campaign focused on keeping more young people and retirees from leaving our state, Governor Healey and the MASS Democrats are prioritizing the “rights” of criminal illegal migrants. Healey and the MASS Dems’ Sanctuary State policies have made all of our communities less safe, while costing taxpayers billions in waste, fraud and abuse. Enough is enough.

Minogue-Backed Audit Gaining Steam

Speaking of waste, fraud, and abuse, Governor Healey and Massachusetts Democrats on Beacon Hill are starting to lose ground in their fight to block the audit 72% of us voted for all the way back in 2024. Mike Minogue has been dogged in his criticism of Healey and her cronies, demanding the audit move forward. Now, State Auditor Diana DiZoglio’s legal fight is making real progress. This week, after the Supreme Judicial Court signaled that their compliance was necessary, state legislators voted to hand over financial documents DiZoglio has been seeking for over a year. Tick, tock.

And then… there’s Brian Shortsleeve

While Mike Minogue is surging, Brian Shortsleeve is sagging. Shortsleeve has almost zero support from grassroots Republicans; his fundraising is dismal; and his rationale to remain in the race is non-existent. Why else would he be staying in the race - unless he’s really nothing more than a Democrat plant trying to help Maura Healey win re-election. If you know Brian, tell him to put his ego aside and do the right thing.
