BOSTON – Massachusetts Democratic Party Chairman Gus Bickford released the following statement today after new reporting by the Boston Globe revealed Republican Auditor Candidate Anthony Amore’s daughter has corroborated allegations of verbal and physical abuse against Amore’s ex-wife.

“The accusations made against Republican Auditor candidate Anthony Amore, now substantiated by his own daughter, are deeply concerning. Given this development, we call on Governor Charlie Baker to rescind his endorsement of Mr. Amore and for the Massachusetts Majority PAC to immediately cease spending on his campaign’s behalf. Those seeking elected office should be held to a higher standard of transparency and trust, and Anthony Amore has failed at both.”
