BOSTON – Massachusetts Democratic Party Chair Gus Bickford released the following statement ahead of today’s expected endorsement announcement of Republican Auditor Candidate Anthony Amore by Former Governor Bill Weld. Earlier this week local media reported troubling court documents about Amore detailing allegations of abuse by his ex-wife.

“The allegations of abuse made by Anthony Amore’s ex-wife should give pause to anyone considering endorsing his candidacy. Governor Weld should be demanding answers from Amore about what happened instead of standing shoulder to shoulder with him. There allegations are serious and should take priority over politics.”
