'Energized' Foxborough Democrats Elect 9 Delegates at February Caucus

Editor's note: Information provided by Foxborough Democratic Committee chair Dennis Naughton.

Democrats from across the state - hundreds from Cape Cod to Lowell, to Worcester to the Berkshires - came together recently to discuss candidates, issues and ideas in their annual grassroots meetings that have been at the heart of Democratic success over the past several years.

In Foxborough, Democrats elected nine delegates during their caucus on Feb. 17.

The local delegates - who will attend the 2013 Democratic Convention in July - are:

• Bill Darcey
• Cy Dumas
• Michael Melish
• Craig Tenzer
• Brenda Berger
• Madeline Champagne
• Jeanne Dyer
• Nancy D’Uva
• Kathy Melish

Greg McGrath was elected as an alternate delegate. Democratic State Committee members Claire and Dennis Naughton will attend the convention as ex-officio delegates.   

Volunteers attended the caucus to collect nomination signatures and plan future canvasses and voter outreach efforts, according to Foxborough Democratic Comittee chair Dennis Naughton.

“People in Foxborough are energized by the Democratic candidates in this election because we have the best ideas to keep moving our state forward and we’re ready to build upon last year’s successes and start knocking on doors,” Naughton said.

Over 500 caucuses are being held across the Commonwealth in February and March where thousands will be in attendance to elect delegates to the state convention and to prepare for the upcoming special election for U.S. Senate.

The Foxborough Democrats normally meet on the second Monday of the month at the Foxborough Public Safety Building. The next meeting is on March 18th (third Monday) and will feature a discussion of gun violence.
