Mike Minogue

Economy and cost of living

Minogue says he wants to keep and recruit businesses and entrepreneurs in Massachusetts, lease or sell state land (not conservation land) to builders and companies, and hire 25,000 veterans in his first term. He also says he would cut the state's energy utility fees and bring back a share of local tax dollars to towns that speed up home permits.

“Grow jobs by retaining and recruiting entrepreneurs and businesses.”

Taxes and government spending

Minogue says he would cut taxes and spending by eliminating waste and fraud through audits, including an outside audit of the legislature and the whole state budget. He says he would use the state constitution's Clause 62F to return surplus revenue to taxpayers, and suspend the gas tax when prices pass four dollars a gallon while working toward eliminating it.

Health care

Minogue says his 'Patients First' plan would move care out of Boston emergency rooms and into communities, support primary care doctors, and shift procedures to lower-cost outpatient clinics. He says it would also require generic drugs through pharmacy benefit managers and expand community-based mental health care, with third-party auditors checking for waste and fraud.

Social Security and Medicare

Immigration and the border

Minogue says he values the contributions of immigrants who work and build businesses. He says he would prioritize removing violent criminals and drug dealers and end sanctuary state policies.

“Recognize and value the contributions of immigrants who work, build businesses, and help strengthen Massachusetts.”

Abortion

Energy and climate

Minogue says he would cancel the Net Zero mandate, cut state-mandated utility fees on day one, and back natural gas pipelines while evaluating modular nuclear energy. He says he would focus on energy innovation that lowers costs and protects the ocean and fishing industry.

Guns

Minogue says he would protect constitutional rights, without giving further detail on firearms.

Crime and policing

Minogue says he would appoint a parole board focused on public safety, eliminate cashless bail, and require mandatory jail time for convictions of violence against law enforcement. He says he would fully fund and protect qualified immunity for police and crack down on fentanyl dealers.

Education

Minogue says he would opt into the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit to fund scholarships, expand charter, tech and vocational schools, and appoint a state education board focused on skills, testing and results. He also says he would offer tax incentives and loan payment programs to keep teachers in Massachusetts.

Foreign policy and defense

No stated position on their website.

Elections and ethics in government

Minogue says he would audit the state legislature and the entire state budget with an outside auditor, create a public spending dashboard for real-time transparency, and require competitive bidding to reduce single-source state contracts. He says he would expose waste and corruption.
