Sen. McCain to attend rally for GOP candidate back East
May 20, 2013, 10:15 AM
BOSTON — U.S. Sen. John McCain is in Massachusetts to campaign for and
help raise cash for Gabriel Gomez, a fellow Republican and Navy veteran who is
running in a special election for the U.S. Senate.
The Arizona Republican told a rally at a VFW post in Boston’s Dorchester
neighborhood that he believes Gomez to be the “the next generation of
leadership in this country.”
McCain said Gomez would be a bipartisan voice in the Senate who would support
wider background checks for gun owners and immigration reform among other
issues.
Gomez said his opponent in the June 25 election, Democratic U.S. Rep. Edward
Markey, for having what he called a weak record on homeland security issues.
The Markey campaign strongly defends the congressman’s record on national
security.
