House
Minority Leader Bradley H. Jones, Jr. (R-North Reading) issued the following
statement today in response to Charlie Baker (pictured at left) being sworn-in as Governor of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts:
“Today’s
swearing-in of Governor Charlie Baker and Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito is
an extremely momentous occasion for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. With a
combined vision of making Massachusetts great, the residents and small
businesses of this state will only benefit from the guidance and leadership of
the Governor and Lieutenant Governor.
Governor
Baker’s outlook for Massachusetts is one of optimism and promise. His
aggressive plan to create jobs and deliver a world-class education to children
across the state is the exact tone and direction that this state’s residents so
desperately need and want from the incoming administration.
While
the coming days are undoubtedly a time for ceremony and celebration, my House
Republican colleagues and I look forward to working with the Governor and
Lieutenant Governor to support and advance their agenda in the House of
Representatives.”
