For all the grief Massachusetts Republicans get, they do have three excellent people and candidates running for statewide office right now. Scott Brown, who we spoke with last week, is seeking to take the Kennedy seat in the U.S. Senate. In the governors race, we have Charlie Baker and Christy Mihos vying for the right to take on Deval Patrick.
Christy is always a treat to talk to and one of the nicest and most generous people you will ever meet. He’s been a champion of reforming state government for a long time. He has ticked off a lot of people on Beacon Hill over the years, and that is one of the most attractive things about his candidacy!
During the interview, a caller went after Christy for specifics on how he would reduce the size of the budget. Christy responded by offering four or five specific proposals. When he finished, he asked the caller if that helped him, but the caller had hung up. Christy then gave the caller his phone number over the air and told him to call if he had any other questions about his plans. Would a politician do that? Of course not. Christy isn’t a politician, he’s a businessman, reformer and outsider. He’s a breath of fresh air in the cesspool that is often Massachusetts politics.
