NEW: US Sen. Candidate Winslow Snags Boston Herald Endorsement
Wednesday, April 10, 2013
In the newspaper’s official editorial endorsement stated, “Massachusetts voters have a chance in the special Senate primary election to put a problem-solver on the ballot under the GOP banner. Dan Winslow has been bringing a host of bright ideas to Beacon Hill since his 2010 election to the Massachusetts House.”
The release went on to say that Winslow “has won bipartisan respect and scored several successes — especially in his efforts to cut ‘fluff’ from the state budget. His delivery of jars of marshmallow fluff to the governor’s office (one for every budget line item he would cut) got him both attention and action.”
The Herald’s endorsement honed in on Winslow’s plans to lower the corporate income tax and make up lost revenue “by ending some of those corporate welfare ‘carve-outs’ won by powerful lobbying groups.”
The Herald stated that Winslow’s Senate campaign has “across-the-aisle appeal,” based on his decisions on a national lottery to finance $20 billion more in merit-based scholarships, and a strategy to reform the Affordable Healthcare Act that would allow states like Massachusetts to opt out of the federal system.
“The national Republican Party has been engaging in months of soul-searching about its future,” the endorsement stated. “Republicans and unenrolled voters who choose a Republican ballot on April 30 can keep Dan Winslow and those new ideas in the fight. The Herald is pleased to endorse his candidacy.”
