SRTC Meeting:

I am very pleased to announce that (potential) gubernatorial candidate, Mike Kennealy will be our special guest at our Sandwich Republican Town Committee meeting on Tuesday, February 11, 2025 at JD Burgers, located at 280 Route 130, Sandwich, MA 02563. Mike Kennealy was former Governor Baker's Secretary of Housing and Economic Development and co-authored the MBTA Communities Law, which requires cities and towns within the T's service area to have one zoning district where multifamily housing is permitted within a half mile of a public transit. We look forward to meeting Mike!

The social hour will be from 5:30 to 6:30 pm where we can order drinks and food items form the menu, socialize and network. The official meeting will start at 6:30pm. We appreciate JD Burgers hosting us as they do not charge for the use of the room, so let's support them by ordering food or drinks from the menu. (They have awesome burgers, fries and appetizers)!

Maura Healey Announces Reelection Bid:

Governor Maura Healey announced her reelection bid Friday, via an interview with Boston Public Radio. During the interview, Maura stated how proud she is on her record and that she wants to continue making progress. No tough questions from Boston Public Radio of course and most of the time was spent bashing Trump and republicans.

Of course, we all know that Maura Healy is the worst Governor Evah. Healey gambled heavily when she allowed tens of thousands of illegal aliens into our state believing that President Biden would bail her out financially. Maura's plan was to register as many illegal aliens as possible to gain democrat votes and to increase the population in order to prevent the loss of a Legislative seat due to the number of people leaving Massachusetts. Maura further believed that Joe Biden would win reelection. Maura lost on both counts, but unfortunately Massachusetts residents ended up being the biggest losers. Now that the well has run dry, Maura suddenly believes that the Emergency Shelter Law shouldn't be used to house illegals.

The Worst Governor Evah Award goes to Maura Healey because:

Maura signed "An Act Modernizing Firearms Laws" legislation, further taking our 2nd Amendment rights away
Supports Vinyard Wind as well as other wind projects, increasing development of wind turbines in our oceans and increasing energy costs.
Supported the Millionaires' Tax, causing successful residents to leave the State of Massachusetts while enticing illegal aliens to enter the state. Nice tradeoff Maura!
Maura is the least transparent Governor in the nation as she challenges every FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request.
Maura supports Sanctuary Cities in Massachusetts, such as Boston, Amherst, Cambridge, Chelsea, Concord, Newton, Northampton and Somerville.
Maura has protected MS-13 gang members as well as illegal alien rapists, murderers and other criminals. Maura never felt it was necessary to order background checks on illegals being sheltered. Maura is only suspicious of Republicans.
In August 2023, Maura Healy literally encouraged Massachusetts families to open their homes to shelter illegal aliens! We'll take a few tattooed MS-13 members Maura, what could go wrong?
Maura has spent billions in supporting illegal aliens and has prioritized housing needs for illegal aliens over Massachusetts Veterans.
Maura plans to close the Pocasset Mental Health Center in Bourne as well as the Canton Mental Health facility, causing severe disruptions for patients on Cape Cod and other areas. Even State Representative David Vieira expressed a little outrage! Yikes. Maura plans to take away services from Massachusetts residents in order to better assist illegal aliens.
Maura proposed a $62 Billion budget for FY (Fiscal Year) 2026, which represents a 7.4% increase over fiscal year 2025. Projected revenue growth for FY 2026 is only 2.2%. The budget calls for tax increases on the sale of some food items. Maura wants to work with Beacon Hill to amend legislation allowing cities and towns to increase meals and hotel taxes in order to make up the difference for lower state aid to cities and towns. This may also cause more cities and towns to request Propisition2 1/2 overrides to make up the difference. Thank You Maura! Can we have more tax increases?
Maura had to file a $714 Supplemental Budget in September 2024 to cover FY 2024 budget shortfalls due to her woke policies.
Maura had to file a $425 Supplemental Budget in January 2025 to cover additional emergency shelter budget shortfalls. Maura requested the funds stating it's for "ensuring continued safe shelter and services for families" amid higher demand. Of course it is Maura!

Republicans sense weakness in Maura Healy's ability to govern and are stepping up to the plate to take her on. There are several strong republican exploring options to run against Maura Healey and we will need to support these candidates once they announce. Perhaps we'll meet one at our next SRTC meeting!

Matt Muratore Event:

Matt invites you to his Thank You event at 71 Degrees West Atlantic Steakhouse on Water Street, Plymouth on Wednesday, February 26, 2025, from 5:00 to 7:00pm. Something tells me that Matt is not done with Public Service and I look forward to attending to see if Matt drops any hints!

Ken Sweezey Victory Fundraiser:

State Representative Ken Sweezey, 6th Plymouth district, invites you to his Victory Fundraiser on Thursday, February 20th at the Marshfield Country Club, located at 515 Moraine Street, Marshfield, MA from 6:00 to 8:00pm. Congratulations to Ken on his recent victory. Ken was sworn in on January 1st, 2025, and is voting Republican all the way! Thank you, Ken!

League of (Woke) Women Voters:

From the LVW:

The Legislative Committee of the Falmouth League of Women Voters is sponsoring a public program in the Hermann Room of the Falmouth Public Library on Monday, March 10, 2025, beginning at 7:00 p.m. State Senator Dylan Fernandes, State Representative David Vieira, and State Representative Thomas Moakley have all accepted our invitation to participate.

We expect that each of the legislators will have the opportunity to speak and also to answer our questions regarding issues of importance to us as League members. However, as noted above, the program is open to the public, and we also expect that there will be an opportunity for members of the audience to address their own questions to the legislators.

I have heard this one before. The last event we attended, the LWV did not allow questions from the audience. Maybe this time, we'll see.

The SRTC will distribute information regarding Republican events on Cape Cod if the candidate or committee requests us to do so. We may also share updates from elected officials. Such notifications should be emailed to info@sandwichrepublicans.online. Such notifications should not automatically be considered endorsements from the SRTC.

Please feel free to share / forward.

All the best and on to 2026
