Ricky Early’s sign, which was installed on April 13, is a shot at Senator Elizabeth Warren. The 20-foot banner stretches across the second-floor balcony at Early’s Kenoza Avenue residence and features two pictures of Warren wearing what look like Native American headdresses.

A Haverhill man who faced backlash during the presidential campaign for placing too many Donald Trump signs on his lawn now has a new banner up, since his preferred candidate won the White House.

The derogatory nickname “Pocahontas” has been used by many of Warren’s harshest critics, including President Trump at a recent NRA rally. It’s a reference to the senator’s controversial claim that she is of Native American heritage.


Early, a staunch Trump supporter, said he put the banner on display because he feels like Warren isn’t doing enough for her constituents.

“She’s not doing nothing for us,” he said in a telephone interview. “She isn’t doing nothing for Massachusetts right now.”

Early, who sent a picture of the Warren banner to the Globe, made headlines in September when he was targeted by Haverhill officials and some residents for placing multiple signs bearing Trump’s name in his front yard.

Early had faced possible fines for having too many of the signs in his yard after the city’s building inspector received complaints and inquiries.

Early received a letter from officials that said he was in violation of a city ordinance that states the surface area of all political campaign signs in one yard cannot total more than 32 square feet.

He told the Globe Wednesday that he was never issued a citation for the incident. Residents came to Early’s defense during the controversy, and organized a rally in support of his right to free speech.


The Trump campaign signs were removed after the election, and Early replaced them with a sign congratulating the new president.

“That was it,” he said.

Early said the new sign hasn’t given him any trouble, and he’s not worried about offending anybody for the content of its message.

“I get people dropping mail by my house all the time thanking me for putting it up,” he said. “I’m not worried about that. It’s called free speech. I can put up whatever I want.”
