Hingham’s delegation also includes Carlos Da Silva and Joe Kelly who were previously elected to the Massachusetts Democratic State Committee; as well as Michael Mullaley who is the elected Chair of the Hingham Democratic Town Committee.
The 2022 Massachusetts Democratic Convention will convene on June 3rd and 4th at the DCU Center in Worcester to vote for statewide office candidates (Governor, Lt. Governor, Attorney General, Treasurer, Auditor and Secretary) ahead of the September Democratic Primary. To appear on the primary ballot, statewide candidates must attain at least 15% of the votes at this nominating convention. Candidates who attain 50% or more of the delegate votes will be considered endorsed by the Massachusetts Democratic Party.
To maximize accommodation, the 2022 Massachusetts Democratic Convention will be hybrid, with in-person proceedings taking place alongside virtual participation options. MassDems is closely monitoring changes in public health guidance and will plan accordingly.
There remains an opportunity for persons of underrepresented categories to become add-on delegates. Youth (ages 16 to 35), people with disabilities, people of color, and members of the LGBTQ+ community not elected as delegates or alternates are encouraged to apply to be add-on delegates by visiting massdems.org/caucus.
