Marc Lombardo To Challenge Brad Jones For Massachusetts House Minority Leader Post

Beacon Hill's Republican leadership may see its first shake-up in more than 15 years, as state Representative Marc Lombardo (R-Billerica) announced Wednesday that he plans to challenge his colleague Brad Jones (R-North Reading) for the House Minority Leader position. 

"Massachusetts is at a crossroads," Lombardo said in a press release sent to NewBostonPost. "For too long, the voices of our communities have been overshadowed by the Democratic Party's monopoly on power. Our Republican Caucus has a duty to provide a real alternative, one that champions fiscal responsibility, individual liberty, and the values that make Massachusetts a great place to live and work. To do this, we need leadership that is dynamic, collaborative, and unafraid to chart a new course."
