If you got a piece of mail from Republican gubernatorial candidate Chris Doughty lately, chances are it contained false information about his primary opponent.
The Wrentham businessman is primarying former state representative Geoff Diehl (R-Whitman). At the end of last week, the Doughty campaign sent out mailers across the state that falsely claim about Diehl that "he doesn't support rolling back the sales tax" — implying that Diehl supports maintaining the 6.25 percent sales tax Massachusetts currently has.
Anthony Amore, the Republican nominee for state auditor of Massachusetts, picked up an endorsement from former acting governor Jane Swift on Thursday.
Swift, a former state senator and lieutenant governor who served as the state's acting governor from 2001 to 2003, endorsed Amore during a press conference outside of the Massachusetts State House in Boston on Thursday, September 8, two days after the primary, in which Amore ran unopposed.
