Dear Friends,

📣 MassGOP is calling for State Representative Chris Flanagan of the 1st Barnstable District to resign following his criminal referral to the U.S. Attorney’s office for illegal campaign activities. 📣

From misleading voters into believing he had Republican support, to documented campaign finance violations, and now reports of tens of thousands allegedly being stolen - it’s clear that trust has been lost and laws have most likely been broken by Rep. Flanagan.

Now, his pattern of illegal activity has escalated to the point of federal scrutiny. The jig is up, Flanagan!

Rep. Flanagan epitomizes everything wrong with Democratic politics in Massachusetts. Rules for thee, but not for me…

Flanagan must resign immediately to uphold the integrity of the office he holds.

This is not a partisan issue; it’s about restoring trust in our elected officials. 



But our call to action doesn’t stop there. We must find and support Republican candidates committed to transparency, accountability, and doing the right thing, even when no one is looking. Especially then.

Sincerely,

Amy Carnevale

Chair, MassGOP
