The Boston Ward 4 Democratic Commitee conducts the official business of the Massachusetts Democratic Party in Boston’s Ward 4, which includes parts of Back Bay, Fenway, and the South End. We advocate for the election of Democrats at the local, state, and national level and for public policies that are important to the neighborhoods in our ward, the City of Boston, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the nation. Our goal is to reflect the diverse voices of our community through grassroots political engagement.

Our meetings are free and open to the public and take place on the third Tuesday of every month. Everyone is welcome to join to stay informed via discussions with candidates, elected officials, and advocates. Interested in becoming a member? The first step is to attend our monthly meetings.

RESOLVED! The Boston Ward 4 Democratic Committee has endorsed the adoption of ranked choice voting for state and federal elections, with the exception of the Presidency, and calls upon our delegation in the Massachusetts State House to work toward its passage. In the November, 2018 election, we endorsed Jay Gonzalez (Governor, MA), Quentin Palfrey (Lieutenant Governor, MA), Ayanna Pressley (US Congress, MA 7th Congressional District), Jon Santiago (State Representative, 9th Suffolk District), and Rachael Rollins (District Attorney, Suffolk County). We also endorsed the “YES on 3” Anti-Discrimination Ballot Question.
