To the editor:
It was standing-room-only at the Abbot Library on Saturday, March 7, as our Marblehead Democrats caucused. The enthusiastic gathering heard from Democratic candidates and elected 18 delegates, including four alternates, to represent us at the Massachusetts Democratic State Convention. The Marblehead Democratic Town Committee is grateful to all who came out and joined us via Zoom to make this a successful caucus. We were truly inspired by the students who volunteered their time to help, and proud of two high school students who were elected to the delegation.
The crowd was addressed and energized by our hometown Senate candidate, Rep. Seth Moulton. State Sen. Brendan Crighton and District Attorney Paul Tucker also spoke. Our hard-working and recovering state Rep. Jenny Armini received a warm welcome as she attended, accompanied by a cast and crutches. Candidates for Congress and other offices informed the caucus of their campaigns. It was apparent that everyone attending, many for the first time, was responding to the critical state of our country and the existential threat to our democracy.
The “Spirit of ’76” hangs not just in Abbot Hall, but in our hearts. Like our long list of Marblehead patriots, who fought against a king and tyranny and gave us a Constitution, the Marblehead Democratic Town Committee (MDTC) is committed to answering the challenge of this moment in history. We invite all Dems, Independents and Republicans to join us. Please visit our website, marbleheaddems.org, to learn how to get involved.
