Eagle Tribune ‘Sound Off’: The numbers are in and they’re telling

Eagle Tribune-Money chase 10/20/17 Numbers are in from the third quarter for campaign donations in Massachusetts, and they’re telling. Two Republicans, Beth Lindstrom and John Kingston, had to “lend” their campaigns money. Meanwhile the presumed GOP frontrunner for U.S. Senate, state Rep. Geoff Diehl, raised $367,000, mostly from small, private, non-establishment donors. He has $281,000 in his account. Then there’s the Democrat, Elizabeth Warren, who has never worked outside of academia and government yet has a net worth north of $15 million and a campaign war chest of more than $13 million. She collected $1 million per month from July through September. I wonder how many donors were working class, how many were fellow 1 percenters, and how many were out-of-staters? And I wonder how much of her campaign fund will be passed to family members and other politicians, since she won’t have to buy ads in the Democrat-fawning Massachusetts…

Diehl criticizes Warren for blocking tax reform; “taxpayers deserve a break”

Diehl: Taxpayers Deserve a Break Whitman, MA … Today Representative Geoff Diehl (R-Whitman), candidate for U.S. Senate, criticized Senator Elizabeth Warren for pledging to fight tax reform. “The tax code is too complicated. It favors those who can hire a lobbyist or have a special interest group representing their interests. It is time the tax code was made simpler, end loopholes, and make it fairer for working families,” said Diehl. “Senator Warren’s latest declaration of war against progress and reform has nothing to do with protecting taxpayers. It is just another thinly veiled attempt to gain national headlines. If Senator Warren truly wanted to help people, then she would begin working with the administration to find common ground.” As Senator, Warren has earned a ZERO rating from the National Tax Limitation Committee for her entire tenure. According to the National Taxpayer Union, Warren voted against taxpayers 83% of the time…

Gloucester Times: What Diehl said will resonate with many fishing stakeholders

Gloucester Times, FishOn by Sean Horgan Oct 15, 2017 It didn’t take long for the debate over what to do with fishing permits forfeited by Carlos Rafael to become even a bigger political football than that produced by all the behind-the-scenes maneuvering that’s gone on to date. Last week, Geoff Diehl, a Republican state rep from Whitman who is running to oppose incumbent U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, lambasted Warren for her tardiness after she proclaimed the permits should remain in New Bedford. “Where has she been? New Bedford needs these permits,” Diehl said in a release. “Our U.S. senator should be fighting to keep them locally, but Warren has been no place to be seen on the permits.” We’ve got no dog in that political hunt, but what Diehl said will resonate with many fishing stakeholders here who continually (and off the record) point out that Warren and U.S. Sen….

LTE: Diehl will work for ordinary citizens

Cape Cod Times: Letter to the Editor 10/16/17 We are supposed to be impressed that John Kingston wrote a check to himself to fund his campaign for U.S. Senate. I am not impressed. I don’t want another rich Republican who is only in this race for himself. We already have a self-centered U.S. senator. We need someone who is going to care about us. That’s why I like Geoff Diehl. We can trust him. Geoff has already proven that he cares for us. He led the successful effort to repeal automatic gas tax hikes. While elitists like Elizabeth Warren and Kingston have fattened their bank accounts, Diehl has helped us. We need a senator who will work for us. Go Geoff Diehl. Linda Bond South Yarmouth

Friday the 13th: Nightmare Donations; Diehl Urges Warren to Purge Dirty Donors from War Chest

Whitman, MA … Today Representative Geoff Diehl (R-Whitman), candidate for U.S. Senate, urged Senator Elizabeth Warren to rid her campaign war chest of more donations. In Part IV of “Clean Up Warren Campaign,” Diehl is now asking Warren to donate the fund she received from Oliver Stone, who is her latest donor to be accused of groping a woman. “Her campaign donations are like a series of bad Hollywood horror movies. What sort of message does it send to women if Senator Warren allows her campaign to benefit from donors who have disrespected women?” said Diehl. “It is hard to believe that Warren was once again in California this week. Did she take any more tainted Hollywood money on the trip? I thought she told us she works for Massachusetts every day.” Last week, Diehl called upon Warren to donate the funds she received from Harvey Weinstein, which she did….

Warren missing the boat; fishing licenses must stay in New Bedford

Boston, MA … Today Representative Geoff Diehl (R-Whitman), candidate for U.S. Senate, criticized Senator Elizabeth Warren for taking months to protect the fishing licenses in New Bedford while still failing to address the monument status on fishing areas. “Where has she been? New Bedford needs to keep these permits. Yet, Warren waited to react for months,” questioned Diehl. “It would be devastating for this community to lose them to another state. Our U.S. Senator should be fighting to keep them locally, but Warren has been no place to be seen on the permits. Massachusetts and New Bedford need more than a part-time Senator.” Carlos Rafael, also known as the Codfather, was recently convicted of violating federal fishing regulations. His business consisted of 40 vessels with permits which can now be relocated out of state. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration can reissue the permits to another region which would be…

Diehl pressure forces Warren to cave on Weinstein money; once again calls for her to donate Menendez funds

Whitman, MA … Today Representative Geoff Diehl (R-Whitman), candidate for U.S. Senate, once again asked Senator Elizabeth Warren to donate the tainted funds she has received from Senator Bob Menendez’s New Millennium PAC. “While Senator Warren has donated the Harvey Weinstein funds, after we called upon her to do so yesterday, on our ‘Where’s Warren’ Facebook page, she still hasn’t rid her campaign account of the Menendez money,” said Diehl. “Senator Warren has complained about big money in politics. She should first clean up her own war chest by donating the tainted funds she received from Senator Menendez’s PAC. It is hard to believe that she accepted these funds after he was indicted on federal corruption charges. Our Senator should now do the right thing and donate the money to the appropriate charity. What message does this send by donating Weinstein’s funds but not Menendez’s? Is public corruption ok…

Diehl Expresses Disappointment in Warren’s Statements

Boston, MA … Today Representative Geoff Diehl, candidate for U.S. Senate, expressed disappointment with Senator Elizabeth Warren’s reaction to the horrific shootings in Las Vegas. “Mere words cannot express the sorrow for the innocent lives lost on Sunday. My prayers are with the families, friends and the people of Las Vegas,” said Diehl. “Our United States Senator should be toning down the rhetoric and working to unite people,” said Diehl. “I am deeply disappointed Senator Warren could not put politics aside for 24 hours. Before 10am, she was politicizing the shooting in Las Vegas. It shows once again that Warren cares more about grabbing headlines for a presidential run than people.” Warren’s rhetoric has been fanning the flames of divide in the nation. After Congressman Scalise was shot, she called repealing Obamacare “blood money.” At the NAACP dinner, she stated the following: “We will not be silent when black men…
