#SpeakUpCharlie

When invited to President-elect Trump’s inauguration, Governor Baker didn’t hesitate to accept the invitation. After two months of silence on Trump’s proposed cabinet and his "wait and see” attitude, Massachusetts residents deserve leadership from the corner office.

Take a moment to share your thoughts on the issues Governor Baker should address with the President-elect and his team. The inauguration isn’t just dining and dancing, its an opportunity to be heard. #SpeakUpCharlie.
