POLITICO Massachusetts Playbook: Massachusetts runs on DunQueens

 

BY KELLY GARRITY AND LISA KASHINSKY Presented by The 'DunQueens' | Joshua Qualls/Courtesy photo, Massachusetts Governor's Office FAMILY FEUDS — With Republicans holding high-level offices becoming a distant memory in Massachusetts, the state’s top Democrats had only one place left to plant their punches during state Sen. Nick Collins’ annual smackdown St. Patrick’s Day breakfast: On each other.  Sure, there were some swipes at John Deaton , the crypto advocate and attorney who recently relocated from Rhode Island to mount a Republican challenge against Sen. Elizabeth Warren. And Warren took some shots at former Gov. Charlie Baker and Republican U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson. But for the most part, the jabs were Democrat-on-Democrat. And no one, not even those who couldn’t make the event, was safe. The supposedly good-natured ribbing laid bare not only the real points of tension between certain Democrats, but the higher-office ambitions a few of them are harboring — and weren’t doing a great job hiding, anyway. And because not every politician has a great poker face, we saw some tells about who’s spooked by the idea of a little intraparty competition. Collins opened with a song encouraging Rep. Stephen Lynch to run for Sen. Ed Markey’s seat when the state’s junior senator eventually steps aside. Why would he want Lynch to try again for a seat he’s already lost? Norfolk County Treasurer Michael Bellotti hit the nail on the head when he took the mic about an hour later: “Nick, we know you’re running for Congress. But ‘Yes, Madam President’ isn’t a platform.” Some actual boxing gloves came out — and several pols onstage squirmed — when Rep. Ayanna Pressley stepped up to the podium to announce a (faux) campaign for Senate. State Senate, that is — and specifically for Collins’ Southie seat. (She even asked Lisa to moderate a debate between the two of them, and, while we know you’re joking, she totally would.) Collins was quick to point out Pressley lives in a different district. A little too quick. And Warren’s pursed lips were a picture worth a thousand words. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu took the brunt of the barbs — over prohibiting most outdoor dining in the North End (some of the neighborhood's restaurateurs protested her from outside the breakfast ), over the annual electeds of color party and for promoting bike and bus lanes. Attorney General Andrea Campbell, who didn’t attend the breakfast, was the butt of multiple jokes about Milton, the town she recently sued for non-compliance with the MBTA Communities law. Gov. Maura Healey and Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll dragged themselves over the Milton zoning mess and got knocked over the migrant crisis: “If a mayor sees the governor and lieutenant governor at an event in your town, that means six more days until your community gets a new migrant shelter,” Wu quipped. But it was Senate President Karen Spilka who took the biggest swings — roasting Wu, Healey, Driscoll and Deaton, as well as Auditor Diana DiZoglio. Spilka suggested that “instead of wasting taxpayer money” on attempting to audit the Legislature, DiZoglio should investigate what’s up with Kate Middleton. “All of us here chipped in to buy you a plane ticket to London to find out what’s happened,” Spilka said. “However, there [weren't] enough donations, so it’s a one-way ticket.” DiZoglio took it in stride: “That was good,” she mouthed from a few seats down the dais. Political skirmishes aside, one act stole the show: Healey and Driscoll’s grand entrance as the “DunQueens.” The governing duo were decked out in full Dunkin’ tracksuits, complete with pink fuzzy bucket hats, iced coffees with munchkin skewers and fake Boston accents. The spoof of the Ben Affleck/Matt Damon Super Bowl commercial wasn’t complete without their version of Tom Brady — played by the first woman to serve as the state's governor, Jane Swift, who “flew” in from out west to the sounds of a chopper. What a good sport. Will they whip out the tracksuits for other official events? “Absolutely,” Healey said. “This may be our new routine every place we go,” Driscoll added. The 'DunQueens': Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll (left), former Acting Gov. Jane Swift (center) and Gov. Maura Healey. | Joshua Qualls/Courtesy photo, Massachusetts Governor's Office GOOD MONDAY MORNING, MASSACHUSETTS . Dunkin’, if you’re reading this, please ship our tracksuits. TODAY — Healey joins a “Strategies for Children” call at 9:30 a.m., attends the Juan Pablo Duarte bust unveiling at 10:10 a.m. and announces her administration’s new state workforce agenda at 11 a.m. at the State House. Driscoll, Wu, Pressley and Warren attend the JJ Carroll 2Life ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10:30 a.m. in Brighton. Warren participates in a student debt roundtable with AFT President Randi Weingarten at 2:30 p.m. at the AFT Massachusetts office.

Drivers can’t get there alone — we're calling on the Special Joint Committee on Initiative Petitions to convene drivers and rideshare companies and steer us down a better road.   PARTY POLITICS FIRST IN PLAYBOOK — One thing Gov. Maura Healey ’s not joking around about: the $1 billion in tax breaks she shepherded into law last year. Her campaign is out this morning with a new digital ad and email blast promoting the cuts, credits and cap changes for residents and businesses ahead of April’s tax-filing deadline. “This tax season, everybody’s gonna benefit from the Healey tax cuts, saving money for seniors, families and businesses,” a male narrator intones in the 30-second spot airing across Hulu, YouTube and on social media platforms. Healey’s campaign declined to disclose the cost. Healey says much the same in an email that also touts free school meals and community college, and reducing housing costs. “I know that we have a lot more to do,” the governor writes. “We’re going to keep working to lower costs, build more housing, and make sure that Massachusetts is a place you can always call home.”   Easily connect with the right N.Y.

MassHousing is seeding the program with $1 million that will be available for technical assistance funding.” — “Healey left Massachusetts for four days last month. Aides refuse to say where the governor went,” by Matt Stout, The Boston Globe: “Governor Maura Healey‘s aides on Friday refused to say where the Democrat traveled last month when she spent four days out of state on a ‘personal trip,’ a stretch in which Healey’s powers constitutionally shifted to the Massachusetts secretary of state. Healey’s office months ago stopped publicly divulging her out-of-state travel plans ahead of time. But this is the first instance in which her office has shielded her whereabouts even after the fact, despite promising to include travel records in documents it releases upon request.” — “Senate to take up revenge porn bill,” by Christian M. Wade, The Eagle-Tribune: “The state Senate plans to take up a bill that would make it a crime to post sexually explicit images on the internet to harass or embarrass another person. The legislation, teed up for a vote in the Senate on Thursday, would create a new felony offense for people charged with distributing a sexually explicit image ‘for purposes of revenge or embarrassment,’ and give judges the authority to ensure explicit images are destroyed. Violators could face up to five years in prison and fines of $10,000.” — “‘Drinks-to-go’ could become permanent, but liquor stores are pushing back,” by Jon Chesto, The Boston Globe. FROM THE HUB — “Boston Mayor Wu says migrant crisis will impact city budget,” by Gayla Cawley, Boston Herald: “Mayor Michelle Wu, who may propose her budget to the City Council next month, did not get into specifics about how the crisis would impact spending in fiscal year 2025, which begins July 1. She did note, however, the extensive impact it is having on city services, and said staffing levels may need to increase to meet the unyielding need. … ‘On schools, we are registering and making sure that young people who are even in a temporary overflow shelter have access to education right away. So, we are providing our city services that way.’” — “‘They are assets, they are not liabilities’: Haitian-American pastor’s leadership shines amid migrant crisis,” by Niki Griswold , The Boston Globe.   A message from the Service Employees International Union:     YAHD SIGNS AND BUMPAH STICKAHS WARREN REPORTS FOR DUTY — President Joe Biden ’s campaign marshaled Sen. Elizabeth Warren to respond to former President Donald Trump ’s remarks on Fox that he’ll decide “pretty soon” whether to support a national abortion ban. “Donald Trump is proud that he overturned Roe v. Wade … and if he regains power, he will go even further and try to ban abortion nationwide,” Warren, a member of the Biden campaign’s national advisory board, warned in a statement released by his campaign. NO GO — Rob McLaughlin , the senior director of government affairs for the Massachusetts Association of Health Plans, told Playbook he’s decided against running for the seat that state Sen. Walter Timilty III is leaving open to run for Norfolk Superior Court clerk. State Rep. Bill Driscoll Jr. filed paperwork last week to run for the seat, joining Randolph Democrat Kathleen Crogan-Camara . CHARLIE ON THE NCAA GRADING YEAR ONE — Former Gov. Charlie Baker would give himself an “incomplete” grade for his first year running the NCAA. “More often than not, especially if you’re involved in big organizations, there’s an arc to the work,” Baker said in an interview with Athletic Director U . He cited as an example the six-million-plus NCAA fan database that he wants to grow to 25 million in the next couple of years.   JOIN US ON 3/21 FOR A TALK ON FINANCIAL LITERACY: Americans from all communities should be able to save, build wealth, and escape generational poverty, but doing so requires financial literacy.

Empower our state’s 55,000 rideshare drivers with a voice through a union and give them the ability to bargain with rideshare companies to improve pay, safety, and working conditions. Rideshare drivers have a roadmap for a better gig economy for Massachusetts, and it starts with legislative leadership convening all stakeholders to eliminate confusion on the ballot and reach a resolution. The Massachusetts legislature is at a critical crossroads. We urge them to choose a better path for drivers and consumers. Learn more here.   KENNEDY COMPOUND MESSAGE RECEIVED — In case it wasn’t already clear that the bulk of the Kennedy clan isn’t supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ’s independent presidential bid, a St. Patrick’s Day visit to the White House with President Joe Biden showed where many of the family members’ loyalties lie. “President Biden, you make the world better. Happy St. Patrick’s Day,” Kerry Kennedy , RFK Jr.’s sister, posted on X Sunday evening, along with a photo of roughly 50 members of the Kennedy clan including former representative and Biden administration Special Envoy for Northern Ireland Joe Kennedy III .

POLITICO Massachusetts Playbook: Biden stops taking NH for granite

BY LISA KASHINSKY AND KELLY GARRITY ALL TOGETHER NOW — Democrats are showing they can come together when it counts. Joe Biden and New Hampshire Democrats who spent more than a year feuding over the state’s place in the primary lineup made public amends on Monday, when top Democrats appeared alongside the president for his first visit to the Granite State in nearly two years. Biden lavished praise upon members of the state’s all-Democratic congressional delegation in a speech about lowering healthcare costs — and let a couple of them hitch a ride back to Washington on Air Force One. In a private event in a strip-mall campaign office, he profusely thanked the longtime operatives and grassroots volunteers who ran a successful write-in campaign on his behalf after he passed on participating in the state’s Democratic primary over the calendar spat. President Joe Biden speaks to supporters at a campaign office in Manchester, New Hampshire, on Monday. | AP Perhaps most importantly, Biden said he expects that New Hampshire’s delegates will count come this summer’s convention, two people familiar with the remarks made behind closed doors and granted anonymity to speak freely told Playbook — though the president was clear the decision is ultimately up to the Democratic National Committee. It seems somewhat trivial, but seating the delegates would be a major peace offering to New Hampshire Democrats, after the DNC passed rules heading into this cycle that could cost the state half its delegates for breaking with the party’s preferred nominating calendar. The DNC has walked back similar sanctions in the past. But doing so this time would be key for Biden, who doesn’t need New Hampshire’s delegates to secure his party’s nomination — he’s expected to lock that up today — but can’t afford to lose the state’s four electoral votes in what could be a close general-election race. New Hampshire Democrats can’t afford to stay angry, either. Having Biden back on the ballot — and having his campaign invest resources in the state (There are already eight staffers there.) — can likely help the party spur interest in down-ballot races, including the open governor’s seat they’re looking to flip. “This is our perennial sport,” Rep. Annie Kuster told Playbook. “We don’t have a national sports team. We love the New England Patriots and the Red Sox and the Celtics. But for us, running political campaigns is what we do for enjoyment with our families. So, having people be able to turn out and to be engaged … is so important.” Speaking of down-ballot battles, House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark was a few dozen miles down I-93 on Monday raising a whopping $1.1 million for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and for the campaigns of so-called frontliners running in battleground districts. Clark drew in more than $1 million alone from her signature WomenLEAD fundraiser at Boston’s Liberty Hotel, which featured House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.), according to a spokesperson. Kuster, Rep. Lori Trahan and Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.) also helped raise money for the event, which spotlighted some of the female representatives running for reelection in competitive districts. Some of Massachusetts’ top female politicians attended the luncheon, including Gov. Maura Healey, Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll and Senate President Karen Spilka. The No. 2 House Democrat also raised more than $100,000 directly for female frontliners in a smaller event ahead of the luncheon, her spokesperson said. Raising big money for Democrats’ congressional campaign arm is part of Clark’s job as a high-ranking House member. But her ability to do so is certainly helped by the Bay State’s tendency toward non-competitive elections — so far no one’s filed to run against her this year.

Julian Cyr and Brendan Crighton and former state Sens. Joe Boncore and Adam Hinds galloped out in hot-pink style to perform a Barbie-themed sketch for the crowd gathered at Boston’s City Winery — including Gov. Maura Healey , Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll , Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and Boston City Council President Ruthzee Louijeune . See the epic pics. — “Governor Healey to seek ‘blanket’ pardons of marijuana possession convictions,” by Matt Stout, The Boston Globe: “Governor Maura Healey will announce plans this week to seek pardons for those convicted of simple marijuana possession in Massachusetts, four people familiar with her plans told The Globe, in a sweeping move that could see tens of thousands of people statewide forgiven for past crimes. … [T]wo of those briefed on her plans told The Globe that she would seek blanket forgiveness of simple marijuana possession charges dating back years in Massachusetts, where voters in 2016 legalized marijuana.” WORTH READING TO REVIEW PROGRAMS THAT  ARE AVAILABLE TO REDUCE YOUR COSTS! — “Healey $1m ad campaign seeks to boost climate efforts,” by Bhaamati Borkhetaria, CommonWealth Beacon. YAHD SIGNS AND BUMPAH STICKAHS SOUTH SHORE SHUFFLE — State Sen. Walter Timilty ’s decision to pursue the county court clerk seat his father is giving up is having an electoral ripple effect through the South Shore. Democrat Kathleen Crogan-Camara had already launched another bid for Timilty’s seat after losing to him in 2022. Rob McLaughlin is mulling a bid, as we reported Monday. Milton state Rep. Bill Driscoll Jr. told Playbook on Monday that he’s received an “outpouring of support and encouragement” to run for Timilty’s seat and will “have more to say” in coming days — after taking time to honor Timilty’s two-plus decades serving in the Legislature. As Driscoll weighs his options, another Milton Democrat, Tony King, has filed paperwork to run for his House seat and is “strongly considering” going through with it, he told Playbook. MEANWHILE, IN WESTERN MASS. — “Lenox Select Board member, Marybeth Mitts, joins the race for Pignatelli’s State House seat,” by Clarence Fanto, The Berkshire Eagle. ROLLINS REPORT — “Rachael Rollins lands job at Roxbury Community College,” by Gintautas Dumcius, CommonWealth Beacon: “Rachael Rollins, who resigned last year as US attorney after federal watchdogs found she lied to investigators and attempted to meddle in a local election, has taken a part-time job at Roxbury Community College. Rollins started the job, which comes with an annual salary of $96,000, earlier this year. Reached on her cell phone, Rollins said she did not want to be contacted and hung up. Rollins is working on a new program geared towards formerly incarcerated people, with a focus on women of color.”   JOIN US ON 3/21 FOR A TALK ON FINANCIAL LITERACY: Americans from all communities should be able to save, build wealth, and escape generational poverty, but doing so requires financial literacy.

It’s a big win for the Bay State after some previous requests for federal assistance for the project were rejected by Washington. FROM THE DELEGATION TIKTOK ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK — The House appears poised to approve a bipartisan bill that would effectively ban TikTok in the U.S., but it could face a tougher challenge in the Senate. “We need to put curbs in place on social media across the board. This shouldn't be about pulling out one particular social media outlet,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren told our colleagues in D.C. “We have rules of the road for television , we have rules of the road for newspapers, we need some rules of the road for social media,” she told WWLP. — “Markey staffers begin collective bargaining, a win for union organizers,” by Jim Saksa, Roll Call. FROM THE 413 — “MGM Dealers Now All-in with UNITE HERE after Narrow Union Vote,” by Matt Szafranski, Western Mass. Politics & Insight: “A touch under 300 employees at MGM Springfield have voted to join a union in an election the National Labor Relations Board held last week." THE LOCAL ANGLE — “‘Lightning rod of attention’: Migrant crisis in Mass. highlights anti-immigrant sentiments, need for security,” by Samantha J. Gross, The Boston Globe. — “Massachusetts police officers push for Mass State Police review amid ‘crisis of confidence’,” by Rick Sobey, Boston Herald: “A local law enforcement group is again pushing for a state review of Mass State Police following a series of brutal headlines for the embattled agency facing a ‘crisis of confidence.’ The Massachusetts Association for Professional Law Enforcement (MAPLE) is proposing a ‘Blue Ribbon’ commission to take a close look at Mass State Police after a long string of scandals.” — “Hospitals bleeding $24M a day from cyberattack,” by Christian M. Wade, The Eagle-Tribune: “The hack of United Health’s Change Healthcare payment system in February affected payments to hospitals, physicians, pharmacists and other health care providers. Change Healthcare processes more than 15 billion health care transactions annually and is involved in one in every three patient records. In Massachusetts, fallout from the unprecedented attack is costing hospitals collectively more than $24 million a day, according to a new survey by the Massachusetts Health and Hospital Association.” — “Steward hospitals are on the brink of financial disaster. Health care executives say it’s just the tip of the iceberg,” by Jon Chesto, The Boston Globe: “While Steward’s for-profit ownership structure put its hospitals at a disadvantage, many health care executives say the state’s entire network of hospitals is approaching a capacity shortage not seen since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.” HEARD ‘ROUND THE BUBBLAH SPOTTED — Boston City Councilor Ed Flynn , Cambridge Mayor Denise Simmons , Cambridge Vice Mayor Marc McGovern , former Waltham City Councilor Jonathan Paz and Revere City Councilor Juan Jaramillo at the National League of Cities conference in D.C.
