J.D. Vance, who was just recognized by many for his compelling debate performance, was scheduled to hold a fundraiser in Massachusetts this weekend.
Taking a cue from the number of politicians looking to tap the Bay State’s wealthy donor base this year, Vance was scheduled to attend a luncheon hosted by Michael Minogue and Renee Minogue today in Gloucester.
The proposed endowment is high, with the top “host” slot costing $100,000 per couple. However, for just $5,000, someone could have purchased an “attendee” slot. Want a photo opportunity? The cost was $15,000, according to an invitation reviewed by the Herald.
Michael Minogue is the president and CEO of two Hamilton-based companies, Minogue Consulting and Heartwork Capital. HeartWork Capital is a private equity fund “focused on companies that advance innovative technology and access to healthcare,” according to its website.

Libertarians love hubs
The all-blue Boston management team earned praise from an unlikely source: a prominent liberal.
“The streets of Boston are walking It’s just amazing.” I directly asked them if they could name one major city that has been well managed in recent years.
“It’s not the ‘What the hell happened here?’ feeling that we’ve often felt in Washington, D.C. these days, like New York sometimes felt in the post-pandemic years,” he said, adding, among other things: . From cities like San Francisco and Seattle to cities he feels are “really confused.”
“And this is not a red city, this is not a liberal city. There are a lot of things here that we all disagree on,” he said. “But Boston is doing better post-pandemic than any other city I’ve been to.”
He emphasized that Boston’s murder rate in recent years has been “incredibly low.”
As of Sept. 29, the day the latest statistics were released, there were 16 homicides in the city, down from 29 at the same time last year and the five-year average of 38. There were 37 murders last year. .
By contrast, of the cities Suderman mentioned, New York City has reported 275 homicides so far this year, compared to 311 during the same period last year. Washington, D.C., has reported 144 homicides so far this year, compared to 215. San Francisco has reported 24 homicides, compared to 40 so far this year. Seattle has reported 39 homicides so far this year, compared to 44 – Flint McColgan
Baker is back in the Bay State.
Former Governor Charlie Baker is currently the NCAA president and still has a foot in Bay State politics. (No, he’s not challenging Gov. Maura Healey as we know it.)
Baker received the Brigadier General Enoch “Woody” Woodhouse II Leadership Award this week for his “unwavering dedication to veterans.” Woodhouse, 96, one of the last surviving Tuskegee Airmen, thanked Baker for helping him create a mural honoring Tuskegee heroes in Terminal C at Logan Airport. “Governor, my friends, you still have a chance,” he said.
Mr. Baker received the first award from the Hanscom Federal Credit Union Charitable Foundation. The ceremony was held at Blue Hill Country Club in Canton. – Joe Dwinell
