Caucus Results

Thanks to all who joined us on February 28 to elect a full slate of 6 Rockport delegates to the Massachusetts Democratic Convention May 29-30. We had about 60 people including representatives for state and federal office.

The state party strives to ensure delegate representation that reflects the whole community, and has a number of add-on delegate seats, chosen by the Democratic State Committee, in the following categories: Disabled, Underrepresented Racial and Ethnic Groups, Veteran, Youth (16 to 35 years old), and LGBTQ+. Add-on applications will be chosen by the Democratic State Committee at their Spring 2026 DSC meeting in April. We hope they will choose the Youth add-on from Rockport who applied.

What can you do?

Register to vote and enroll as a Democrat at the Massachusetts Secretary of State’s web page.

Contribute to targeted Congressional races. See John Doue’s spreadsheet here.

Join the non-partisan standout at Dock Square every Saturday at 11:30 AM (weather permitting).

Trump is threatening war crimes to annihilate "a whole civilization". Republicans in Congress repeatedly voted for Trump’s war and still won't do their job to end this madness. Enough. Bring Congress back into session. Republicans must grow a spine and stop this catastrophe. … See MoreSee Less

Trump and his Administration have shown a blatant disregard for the separation of powers by withholding Congressionally approved funds, dismantling Congressionally created departments and agencies, unilaterally imposing tariffs and duties,deploying military troops on American soil against civilian populations, attempting to deny birthright citizenship guaranteed by the Constitution, ordering investigations of political enemies and unlawfully replacing U.S. Attorneys who fail to carry out said orders, launching military operations against sovereign nations without Congressional consultation or approval, threatening military action against a fellow NATO member in violation of Congressionally approved treaties, and deploying armed federal agents to states without consent or coordination to carry out unnecessarily broad and aggressive immigration enforcement actions that have resulted in the unlawful detention, injury, and death of U.S. citizens exercising their basic Constitutional rights; andWHEREAS, in the judgment of this assembled Town Meeting, President Trump has repeatedly usurped legislative and judicial branch authority in direct violation of the separation of powers enshrined in our Constitution; andWHEREAS, as James Madison wrote in Federalist Paper No. 47, “The accumulation of all powers legislative, executive, and judiciary in the same hands, whether of one, a few or many, and whether hereditary, self appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny;” and so now therefore;BE IT RESOLVED:That this duly assembled Town Meeting, as the legislative body of the Town of Rockport, Massachusetts, respectfully calls upon the Congress of the United States to exercise its legislative branch authority and oversight powers to provide a check on unlawful or unconstitutional actions by the President of the United States. … See MoreSee Less
