Dear Democrats,

Over the past few weeks, many of you have spent hours on the phones talking to voters about candidates in this spring’s special elections. Well, on Tuesday, Democrats John Velis and Susan Moran flipped their districts blue and became the newest members of the Massachusetts State Senate!

All your hard work paid off, but we’re not done yet. We have less than two weeks to make sure that Democrats Dan Sena and Carol Doherty win their races is Worcester & Middlesex Counties and Taunton & Easton.

Dan and Carol are fighting back against Trump loyalists handpicked by the MassGOP. But more importantly, they’re ready to bring their bright vision for the future to each of their districts and work for them on Beacon Hill. There are phonebanks (with exciting special guests) listed below–sign up and help our final push to Election Day!

As always, send your virtual events to events@massdems.org and have a great weekend!

All the best,

Allison Mitchell
MassDems Communications Manager
