BOSTON–In response to Donald Trump’s announcement this morning of Governor Pence as his choice of running mate, Massachusetts Democratic Party Chairman Tom McGee released the following statement:

"Governor Pence is an extremist and the antithesis of the values we hold dear here in Massachusetts – equality for all, a woman's right to choose, and a living wage. His record of divisiveness and discriminatory policies is not what the Commonwealth or the nation needs in a vice president."
