~ Letter to the Editor ~ Thank you for your vote

Dear Letter to the Editor,

My name is Danielle Allen, and I was on the ballot last week for Democratic State Committee for our Senate District, Middlesex and Suffolk. I am writing to thank all Everett voters for turning out to vote on Super Tuesday!

Thank you for voting not only in the Presidential Primary but also in the State Committee races. Those races are so important, because the state party committees guide our political parties in shaping the landscape of our elections—who the candidates are, what the rules are for party contests, what the party platform is.

I did not prevail in the election, and I want to congratulate the winner, Henrietta Davis. A long-time elected official in Cambridge, Henrietta will represent us all well. I want to thank Olivia Walsh also, for a race well run.

At the same time, I am glad to report that I did prevail in a second contest for seats on the State Committee, the caucus process. I will join the Democratic State Committee, alongside Henrietta, to represent our Senate District, as State Committee Woman for Middlesex and Suffolk, as the holder of a caucus seat.

Over the last few years, I’ve been rebuilding my ward in Cambridge, Ward 2. As a State Committee member, I look forward to supporting all ward chairs in our Senate District.

And if you’d like to get involved but aren’t sure how to do so yet, please drop me a line at da******@*******************le.org, and I will gladly connect you to the ward chair for your neighborhood, so you can get involved! It is fun and rewarding to play a role in shaping the direction of our communities. I hope to hear from you!

Yours sincerely,

Danielle Allen
