Special Election for State Representative

Thanks to everyone who voted. From the elections page on our Town website, here are the results for Rockport.

Congratulations to Dru Tarr, who also won large majorities in Gloucester and Manchester. Frieden got a narrow plurality in Essex.

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?
