Needham Caucus for State Convention
March 2, 2020 @ 7:15 pm
This is the caucus to elect delegates for the 2020 State Convention in Lowell MA on Saturday, May 30, 2020. All are invited to attend, but only registered Needham Democrats can serve as delegates or vote for delegates.
To be a delegate, you MUST:
1. be a registered or pre-registered Democrat
2. live in Needham
3. be physically present at the caucus
4. NOT have publicly supported or endorsed any candidate opposing a nominee of the Democratic Party in the current or previous partisan election. If one were to have done this in a Statewide or Presidential race, they cannot be elected Delegate or Alternate for 4 years; for all other offices, 2 years.
For example: if you publicly supported Charlie Baker or Richard Ross in 2018, or Johnson, Stein, or Trump in 2016, you cannot run as a delegate.
You SHOULD:
1. plan to attend the convention on Saturday, May 30, in Lowell, all day
2. pay the $75 convention fee promptly (or $50 for certain groups, or submit a fee waiver for hardship) — for delegates and alternates
