Next weekend is a very important marker in the 2010 campaign season: the Massachusetts Democratic Convention. The state nominating convention is the event where candidates secure their place on the primary ballot, earn the Party’s endorsement, and is an excellent opportunity to meet other active Democrats from your town and around the Commonwealth.

The convention will take place Friday and Saturday, June 4-5, at the DCU Center in Worcester. The Massachusetts Democratic Party website provides useful  information, including a convention agenda, standing rules, hotel accommodations, and more.

Martha will be there to seek the party’s endorsement Friday evening and to greet delegates Saturday. Our team of volunteers will be in attendance; can you join us? We are recruiting volunteers to help support convention operations, beginning at 4:30 p.m. on Friday, and beginning at 7:45 a.m. and throughout the day on Saturday. Delegates and non-delegates alike are welcome!

If you are able to help out for a couple hours or more, please email us at volunteer@marthacoakley.com or call 617-241-0200. Let us know if you are a delegate or not, and your availability, and we will follow up right away.

Martha has been so glad to see many of you out around the Commonwealth as she’s been out campaigning for re-election this spring, and we all hope to see you at next weekend’s convention.
