The Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance will be sponsoring the first Republican Gubernatorial Debate between former Whitman State Representative Geoff Diehl and Wrentham businessman Chris Doughty.

The debate will take place live and on air on the Howie Carr Show on Wednesday, July 20th at 6:00 p.m., with Carr serving as moderator.

“This will be a great opportunity for Republican primary voters from every corner of Massachusetts to listen to these two candidates answer the questions that Republican primary voters actually care about,” noted Paul Diego Craney, spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance.

“MassFiscal is the state’s leading advocacy non-profit organization and Howie Carr is the state's leading conservative opinion columnist, the debate sponsorship greatly benefits the candidates and Massachusetts voters,” concluded Craney. 

Among conservatives, the Howie Carr Show is arguably one of the most influential media shows in all of Massachusetts and New England. Carr’s radio show is syndicated throughout the region and airs five days a week. Nearly every part of the state carries his radio show live, and you can listen to it online.

MassFiscal was established in 2012 and has grown to become the state’s most influential non-profit advocacy organization focused on advocating for fiscal responsibility, transparency, and accountability in state government and increased economic opportunity for the people of our Commonwealth. Most recently, MassFiscal was the leading voice to defeat Ranked Choice Voting during the last election and more recently was the leader in defeating Governor Charlie Baker’s TCI gas tax scheme.
