Republican members of the Massachusetts House of Representatives gave party chairman Jim Lyons an ultimatum: condemn a conservative state GOP committee member for expressing a conservative point of view or resign.
Lyons addressed the topic in a statement late Friday night, acknowledging the clamor but rejecting what he called "all forms of censorship, and especially the 'cancel culture' mentality that exists today."
Abortion-supporting state Representative Tami Gouveia (D-Acton), who is no fan of U.S. Senator Mitt Romney (R-Utah), may end up running to be lieutenant governor of Massachusetts.
The second-term Democrat has been calling her colleagues in the Massachusetts House of Representatives in recent days telling them she plans to run for the post instead of for re-election in the 14th Middlesex District, according to State House News Service.
