The Taunton Area Chamber of Commerce will be holding a
Business Breakfast
on
Tuesday, October 16
at
Stoneforge Restaurant
, 90 Paramount Drive, Raynham. Registration is at
7:45 a.m.
The guest speaker is
State Representative and Candidate for US Senate Geoff Diehl
.
Geoff Diehl is the Republican nominee for United States Senate running against Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.
He is a State Representative from Whitman, MA whose hard work on behalf of Massachusetts taxpayers has saved residents across the state from having to pay billions of dollars in new taxes.
Geoff became active in the community, and eventually became a member of the Whitman Finance Committee. In 2007, Geoff stepped forward as a private citizen to oversee the restoration of the historic Toll House sign in Whitman. Part of his work included obtaining underwriting for the project by the Nestle Corporation.
In 2010, Geoff ran for state representative and won. On January 5, 2011, he was sworn in as a member of the 187th General Court of Massachusetts, serving the people of the 7th Plymouth District (Abington, East Bridgewater and Whitman) as their state representative.
During his time in office, Geoff has led the fight for more transparency and accountability at the State House. He has worked to increase jobs and send more local aid to cities and towns. Geoff also has been a champion of Massachusetts taxpayers and has taken bold action to protect them from tax hikes.
In 2014, Geoff saved Massachusetts taxpayers from a $2 billion gas tax increase. The Legislature had voted the year before to link the state gas tax to inflation, so that the gas tax would increase automatically every future year. Geoff stepped forward to lead a grassroots effort for a ballot question campaign to repeal the tax hike. His group collected 146,000 signatures in favor of the ballot question, and despite special interest groups outspending his team 31 to 1, Geoff’s group won. Massachusetts drivers have avoided three straight gas tax increases as a result.
Geoff protected taxpayers again in 2015 when there was a movement to bring the Olympics to Boston. Geoff filed an amendment to the state budget to protect Massachusetts taxpayers from being harmed by any potential cost overruns related to the Games. Geoff also worked to develop a ballot question that would have allowed the Olympics to come to Massachusetts only if taxpayers were held harmless.
