Caucus on Feb. 22, 2014
Beverly Democrats to Hold Caucus To Elect Delegates to State Convention
Democrats in the City of Beverly will hold a caucus at the Beverly Public Library, 32 Essex Street, Beverly, on Saturday, February 22, 2014 at 10 AM, to elect delegates and alternates to the 2014 Massachusetts Democratic Convention, where Democrats from across Massachusetts will vote to endorse candidates for statewide office. Democrats must be registered as of January 31, 2014 and must be signed in no later than 10:15 AM in order to participate in the caucus. The State Convention will be held on Friday, June 13 and Saturday, June 14, 2014 at the DCU Center in Worcester, MA.
“This is going to be an exciting year as we build on our recent successes and prepare for the election in 2014,” said Massachusetts Democratic Party Chairman Senator Tom McGee. “Caucuses are the next step in growing our community organizing strategy for victory. People who were part of candidate campaigns in 2012 and 2013 have the opportunity to become part of their local Democratic Party organizations.”
“We have a lot of great candidates running for statewide office,” Senator McGee added. “Anyone who is interested in getting involved in a campaign for Governor, Lt. Governor or any other statewide office, can attend their local caucus and learn how to get involved.”
The caucus is open to all registered Democrats in Beverly, and the Democratic Committee welcomes participants. Please note that you must be present at the caucus in order to be elected as a delegate to the State Convention. Delegates will be divided equally between men and women, and all ballots will be written and secret. Youth, minorities and people with disabilities who are not elected as delegates or alternates may apply to be “add-on” delegates. The Beverly Public Library is handicapped accessible. Details on the rules can be found at www.massdems.org
