Joe Pires and I sat down on the New Bedford waterfront for a full half hour — the port, the fishing fleet, who our Congressman is, and what it takes to keep a working harbor working. Check out the whole conversation on my website.
Thank you Joe.

✨ South Coast Business Spotlight is getting started!

Tonight, we found ourselves at Silverstone Castle in Swansea, Massachusetts, and what a place!

An incredible restaurant, beautiful atmosphere, a packed house, and a fantastic crowd from the South Coast and beyond. The evening was made even better by The Concept, who sounded absolutely incredible.

This is exactly what the South Coast Business Spotlight is all about: discovering great local places, meeting the people behind them, and sharing the experiences that make our area special.

You never know where we’ll show up next!

Stay tuned for more photos from tonight’s experience. 📸

🇺🇸 Rochester Republican Town Committee

It was a great evening at the Ponderosa Sportsman Club as the Rochester Republican Town Committee (MA) brought together members, guests, candidates, and community leaders for an informative and engaging meeting.

RTC Chair Donald Spirlet led an excellent meeting featuring two outstanding keynote speakers:

🎤 Tom Hodgson, who served as Bristol County Sheriff for 25 years

🎤 Steve Xiarhos, Massachusetts State Representative

Both shared their perspectives on public safety and the issues affecting communities across Massachusetts.

We were also pleased to meet Brendalee Smith, who has accomplished a major milestone by qualifying for the ballot as a candidate for State Representative in the 10th Bristol District.

It was also great to see Shawn Oliver, Gabriel “Boomer” Amaral, Tyler Macallister, and Robert S. McConnell, along with so many members and guests who took the time to participate.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the evening a success. The Rochester Republican Town Committee continues to provide an opportunity for people to come together, hear from community leaders and candidates, and engage in important conversations about our communities and the future of Massachusetts.

🎙️ JOE PIRES UNPLUGGED
I recently sat down with Tyler Macallister, candidate for Congress in Massachusetts’ 9th Congressional District, for a wide ranging conversation about the issues that matter to voters and the future of our communities.

We talked about his background, his reasons for running, and a number of important issues facing Massachusetts and the people of the 9th District.

No scripts. No talking points. Just a real conversation and an opportunity to hear directly from the candidate about where he stands.

If you’re a voter in the 9th District, take some time to watch the interview, listen to what Tyler has to say, and make your own decision.
