Let’s scrub the grime from Washington. I am proposing a “Clean Hands Act” to bring term limits to Congress, ban stock trading while in office, impose a lifetime lobbying ban after leaving public service, and end Leadership PAC slush funds once and for all. Washington was never meant to be a career, and public service was never meant to be a path to getting rich.

If you watched the debate tonight, you may have noticed there was only one extremist on the stage. Elizabeth Warren’s hyper-partisanship does nothing to help the working and middle class crushed by inflation and the cost of living. She is part of the Washington elite that fuel division to hold onto power. If you missed the debate, make sure to watch it on the link below. With your help, we can win this race. Go to

The beaches in Maryland must be incredible. Because nobody who has ever spent three hours crawling toward Cape Cod on a functionally obsolete bridge would think this system is acceptable. Massachusetts sends more tax dollars to Washington per person than any state in America. So why are we still depending on bridge infrastructure that traces its roots back over 110 years? Decades of representation. Billions sent to D.C. And we're still sitting in traffic. That's not a funding problem. That's a leadership problem.

“When you look at me on this stage you are looking at the American dream. Not the slogan, the thing itself...I'm just John Deaton and I'm proud to be your nominee.”

Our veterans wrote a blank check to this country, up to and including their lives. The least America can do is keep its promise to them. Instead, too many veterans are stuck waiting for care while politicians put themselves first. Men and women who served this country should never have to fight their own government for the benefits they earned. Right here in Boston, Mayor Michelle Wu gave herself a raise while cutting benefits for veterans. That’s not leadership. That’s disgraceful. As we head into Memorial Day, remember this: veterans kept their word to America. It’s time politicians start keeping theirs.

Massachusetts ranks dead last in affordability, and Beacon Hill’s answer is to worry about how many miles you drive so they can tax you for it. That doesn’t solve the affordability crisis. It punishes working people. Enough is enough. Let’s end the insanity this November. Donate:

On our way back from the Springfield Sportsmen’s Show to get ahead of the nor’easter coming to Massachusetts, we made a quick stop at the Basketball Hall of Fame. It’s a historic place, and Western Massachusetts is ready to make some history of its own by helping us unseat a 50-year sitting senator. It’s time for change.

I asked a 25-year-old what worries him most… it wasn’t politics, it was the wealth gap. For 30 years, Washington has printed money, driven up prices, and made ownership harder than ever. The result? Young Americans locked out of the very things that build wealth like homes, investments, and opportunity. This isn’t about hating success. It’s about restoring it. It’s time to give the American Dream back to the next generation.

Massachusetts is the only state in the country where all three branches of government exempt themselves from public records laws. When voters demand transparency through a vote and in court, they try to dismiss it. Apparently your vote only matters when they like the outcome. That’s corruption. Let’s start ending it this November.

They’re using YOUR tax dollars to bury sexual harassment scandals. Corrupt politicians protecting their own. Vote these bums out. Disgusting. Share this. Tag them. Let them know this is not OK.

I am proud to announce I am officially on the ballot for U.S. Senate. A huge thank you to all the volunteers and supporters who worked tirelessly to collect over ten thousand signatures. Make no mistake, I am in this fight to win. Voters in Massachusetts are sick of Washington corruption. Elizabeth Warren’s extremism represents everything that is wrong with our current politics, and why voters are telling me they’re ready for change. She wants to keep the job, I want to do the job. No Fear. Never Give Up. Let’s win this thing. Go to

I didn’t take AIPAC money in 2024, and I’m not taking it now. Period. Because my loyalty is to the people of Massachusetts and the people of this country. Not foreign interests. Not political machines. Not special interests. I’ll call out anti-Semitism when I see it. I’ll speak the truth when our allies get it wrong. And I’ll never ask permission to do either. #DeatonForSenate

When I tell people I’m running as a Republican in Massachusetts, some smirk. That’s fine. Because when families are choosing between rent, groceries, and the electric bill… the R & the D start meaning a whole lot less..."I'm a John Deaton Republican and I bring something unique to the table."

We have got to get back to a place where we can take our politicians for their word. It's a sad state that Elizabeth Warren thinks I can stand on the debate stage and lie to the American people to get elected, but then change my mind as soon as I get to DC. She's part of the broken Washington system that uses that playbook, but I'm not. It's why she also is lying about my record. These politicians will do anything to hold onto power and care more about special interests than the working and middle class.
