Benjamin Downing is running for governor of Massachusetts with a promise that differs from his practice when he was a member of the Massachusetts Legislature.
The 39-year-old Democrat said on Twitter last week that he will not accept any money from lobbyists or political action committees. He even included a gif of what appears to be former Atlanta Hawks Dikembe Mutombo wagging his finger. This came after he tweeted a link to ActBlue so that people knew where to donate to his campaign.
