In May, we surveyed our members about how they would like to contribute to winning the 2022 Elections. Here are the results.

Our annual report is now posted in Adobe PDF format.

In the document you can learn about the committee and its activities during 2020, the year of pandemic and Zoom.

Just before covid struck we held an in-person caucus with guest speakers US Congresswoman Katherine Clark and US Senator Ed Markey.

The report highlights our Zoom meetings and the guest speakers we invited. Our election activities for Carmine Gentile, for the Biden-Harris campaign, and for voting rights are detailed. You can read about our finances including donations. Finally, you can learn about our activism including co-ordination with the Sudbury Protest Group and our statement supporting the Black Lives Matter movement.

At the July 29, 2020 meeting of the Sudbury Democratic Town Committee, committee members voted unanimously to support the Black Lives Matter movement. Our commitment is here.

Many on the committee found this posting Thoughts on a Saturday Morning by Senator Tim Kaine insightful. (3 minute read)

U.S. Rep. Katherine Clark (who represents Massachusetts 5th District which includes Precincts 1A, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of Sudbury) was elected to the position of assistant speaker, making her the fourth highest ranked member of House leadership in Congress. Congratulations!

(In case you’re curious about Precinct 1, it’s part of the 3rd District which is held by Rep. Lori Trahan.)
