Newbury Democratic Town Committee

The Newbury DTC had a change of command last month, when Chair LuAnn Kuder passed the gavel to Jim Stanton. LuAnn, who was chair for 10 YEARS, organized the committee after it had been defuct for years. We're grateful for her service and leadership! Now, those big shoes are passed to Jim!

Last Saturday, Jim led our caucus in choosing delegates to the state convention in June.

Brunch with Congressman Tierney

I'm so proud to be a constituent of John Tierney and to know I'm represented by someone whose work and voting record reflect my progressive beliefs.

So, gathering with fellow progressives at Plum Island Grill in Newbury to have brunch with our Congressman made for a pretty nice Sunday morning!

The Rowley DTC and Salt Marsh Antiques hosted a fund-raiser for LG Tim Murray Thursday night and it was a great success! Rowley, Newbury and West Newbury town committees sponsored the event and invited Dems from all over the North Shore to gather in support of LG Murray.

Special thanks to Bobby Cianfrocca, Caryn Carangelo, Kathy Pasquina, Matt Patton, Robin Bergman for all the hours (OK, days) devoted to making this a very special evening!

Joining us were Congressman John Tierney and State Rep. Mike Costello.

House Party for Governor Patrick's State of the Commonwealth Address

On Thursday night, over 20 local Dems gathered in Newbury to watch the Governor give his State of the Commonwealth address. Dinner, great conversation, and engagement over the administration's accomplishments and shortcomings.

After the speech, we participated in a conference with Governor Patrick and activists at house parties across the state.

I didn't notice the donkey on the mantle until I started editing the photos--I love it!
