The State Convention was Saturday Sept. 13, 2025 at the Massachusetts Mutual Center in Springfield.
Thousands of delegates descended on the MassMutual Center in Springfield for the Massachusetts Democratic Party’s annual convention. The Danvers delegation consisted of 14 Democrats making their voice heard.
Chair Steve Kerrigan opened the convention with “We denounce political violence in all its forms and that cannot be the way we make political change in our country. We make change through debate and, when necessary, dissent.
Local Springfield Officials, Union leaders and State Officials spoke about the issues on our minds like immigration, housing, healthcare, LGBTQ+ rights, the economy, our democracy and exercising our right to dissent.
There was a lively discussion as only Democrats will have on all the issues and challenges facing us as Americans and adopted a platform that represents our values.
Hey! Is it still possible to sign up to be a delegate for Danvers?
I actually am unsure if one can become a delegate this close to the convention but my feeling is that it likely is possible. In Danvers, we have filled our number of female delegates but have an Alternate spot available. To be a delegate, you must be a current resident of Danvers and a Registered Democrat. Hope this helps.
