Polito: 'We Are Going To Seek Re-Election in 2018'

“Let’s Make Massachusetts great from one end to the other, and every community at a time,” that is the message Lt. Governor Karyn Polito said her and Governor Charlie Baker ran on in 2014.

“And in order for us to continue to be able to do that, we are going to seek re-election in 2018,” said Polito, at a fundraiser for Framingham Republicans Janet Leombruno and Ed McGrath at Samba Steak & Sushi in Framingham Monday night. “Because we have a lot of good work that we want to do together, with our cities and towns, and with our businesses.”

“In order for us to have that opportunity,” said the Lt. Governor. “And have the team of people around us, so we can run a successful and rigorous campaign, we need people like Janet and Ed to be re-elected.”

It was a who’s who of both Framingham Republican and Democrats at tonight’s event, from State Rep. Chris Walsh, to former State Rep. John Stefanini, to ZBA Chair Phil Ottaviani to former state-wide Republican auditor candidate Mary Z. Connaughton.

Republicans from across the state attended the event in support of McGrath and Leombruno. Both Framingham residents are seeking re-election to the Republican State Committee.The state election is Tuesday, March 1.

Gov. Baker is scheduled to make his first State of the Commonwealth address on Wednesday, Jan. 21.

This is the Governor’s first state address as last year the Governor gave an inauguration speech, after him and Polito were elected in Nov. 2014.
