We believe in endorsing and in putting endorsements to work.
Our committee considers endorsements of candidates, ballot initiatives, and legislation. We believe in building a robust Democratic bench of elected officials who reflect the diversity of our City and our Commonwealth and who have track records of bold, thoughtful, and effective action. And we believe in canvassing, phone banking, host parties, and good, old-fashioned word-of-mouth to promote our endorsed candidates.
If you are interested in seeking our endorsement for your candidate or cause, please email ward4dems@gmail.com.
