Hate and discrimination based on sexual orientation isn't OK

A: I'm running because I think we need to be aiming much higher than we currently we are. One of the things I love about us, as Americans and Massachusetts people in particular, is that we've always believed that we can overcome big challenges. That sense of optimism and entrepreneurialism and that willingness to work together to make progress. It's who we are. I think, my view of what the governor should be doing--and government--is taking on the big challenges that are holding people back and try to make real progress on them. That's the type of governor I want to be. I also want to be the kind of governor that's making progress and standing up for every person across this state. Making sure it's clear that hate and discrimination aren't OK. And as governor, I'll be fighting for everyone--no matter what color they are or what their sexual orientation is, or whether they're from Marshfield or Springfield.
