The current Governor, Maura Healey (D), stood before voters and offered virtually no defense of her record. Instead, she screamed about Donald Trump, smeared PragerU as “anti-gay racist propaganda,” and portrayed anyone who disagrees with her as racist, anti-gay, extremist, and dangerous.

Mike Minogue (R) thanked God, his family, veterans, teachers, nurses, fishermen, small-business owners, and the people who supported his opponents.

Healey screamed about Trump.

Minogue talked about affordable housing, better schools, lower energy costs, safer communities, accountable government, ending sanctuary-state policies, and dismantling the one-party system that has made Massachusetts unaffordable.

Healey offered fear, division, and recycled political smears.

Minogue offered service, gratitude, accountability, and a message to people who did not vote for him... “You have a home here. You are welcome here.”

One candidate believes Massachusetts belongs to the Democratic establishment.

The other believes it belongs to the people who live, work, raise families, and pay taxes there.

That is the choice in November.
