While radical right wing Republicans, like MassGOP Chair Jim Lyons, work tirelessly to downplay the seriousness of the Covid-19 pandemic, they’re also using this crisis to distract from corruption in their ranks.
Let’s take the case of State Senator Dean Tran. In March, just after all of our lives were upended by the coronavirus, news broke that Tran was found to have used his publicly-funded staff for campaign work, including fundraising for his own re-election effort. His conduct was deemed so egregious that he was directed not to interact with HIS OWN staff - except by email. His personal office was even moved. Reports indicate he may be under investigation by a number of state agencies for using his staff for personal benefit.
Do your part to boot extreme and corrupt Republicans like Dean Tran from the State House. Help MassDems build its bench and invest in its future today by giving $5, $10, for whatever you can.
By the way, if his conduct on Beacon Hill isn’t enough, a report from April indicated that Tran was the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation involving weapons.
Yet Dean Tran is jumping for joy because he thinks we missed the reports of his misdeeds.We didn’t. Let’s show him. Give what you can now.
