Montague Democrats to hold State Dem Convention Delegate Caucus February 16


Registered Democrats in Montague will hold a caucus at the first floor meeting room of Montague Town Hall, 1 Avenue A, Turners Falls, at 6:30 PM, Thursday, February 16, 2012 to elect 5 delegates and 3 alternates to the Massachusetts Democratic Convention to be held Saturday, June 2, at the MassMutual Center in Springfield to nominate Democratic candidates for statewide elections, such as US Senator, in the fall.

This local caucus is a meeting that is open to all Democrats registered in Montague by 12/31/11. Registered attendees are eligible to vote and/or run for one of the five openings available to represent Montague Democrats at the state agenda-setting convention. Delegates must be divided equally among men and women. Candidates must consent to nomination in writing. Candidates may make a one-minute statement to the meeting and may distribute materials. It is all a very straight forward and transparent process any registered Democrat may participate in, or just come to watch.

There will also be a brief meeting of the Democratic Town Committee following the caucus that any registered Democrat may attend. The meeting place is handicapped accessible.
