BDCC Holiday Party

We had another really nice holiday get-together on Sunday, December 11th at Chris and Dave Bertoni’s lovely home in Beverly Farms. Thanks to them for hosting the event and thanks to everyone who attended and brought the great food. Be sure to check out the photos.

Annual Cookout

In spite of some heavy rain, the cookout at Lynne & Gary Barrett’s  house was a big success. Thankfully, the Barretts have a garage, where we all hung out for the last hour of the cookout.  Click on Photos to see the event.

In 2011 we honored the following people:

William and Marguerite Coughlin

John F. “Jake” and Marguerite Condon Lifetime Achievement Award

Awards, citations, plaques and other congratulatory messages were sent by Sen. John Kerry, Cong. John Tierney, MA State Senate, MA State House, Essex DA Jon Blodgett, Beverly Rep. Jerry Parisella’s office, BDCC Chair Duane Anderson. Some Candidates for US Senate spoke or had representatives who spoke on their behalf. Beverly Mayor Bill Scanlon and his wife, Louise, attended, which was much appreciated.

Delicious food (thanks to everyone who contributed), good company, a fun event for Democrats and friends!

Who’s giving how much?

Ever wondered how people find out how much money a certain industry is giving to a certain politician?  Well, now it’s as easy as cake.  Just visit influenceexplorer.com, and enter the name of a big-time politician, company, or donor.  You’ll get lists of top donors, industries, and, in the case of federal reps, earmarks.  Webs of influence.  Check out John Tierney, John Kerry, Scott Brown, Deval Patrick.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to include our state reps.

Election Results

Congratulations to Governor Patrick, Congressman Tierney, Senator Berry, Beverly State-Rep Elect Jerry Parisella, State Party Chairman John Walsh, and all Massachusetts Democratic candidates who were elected on November 2. We had some great victories, especially considering what happened across the nation in the mid-term elections.

We want to thank all our volunteers for their hard work and dedication. It certainly paid off!! And we had a lot of fun along the way.

The Coordinated Campaign Headquarters in Beverly was blessed to have Jody Asbury present in the office for several weeks. Jody’s daughter Sydney Asbury was Governor Patrick’s Campaign Manager. Jody did yeoman’s duty, supporting the Patrick Campaign and lending a hand in any way she could during her stay. Thank you, Jody!

Again, huge thanks to all volunteers!
