The Framingham Democratic caucus for 2025 was held on Sunday April 27th at the main branch of the Framingham Public Library with FDC Chair Doug Lawrence presiding.
The caucus was called to elect Framingham’s delegation to the 2025 Democratic State Convention that takes place in September of this year. The caucus would elect up to 35 delegates plus 6 alternates. The entire slate was not filled with several vacancies in the delegates and no alternates elected.
Senator Elizabeth Warren will hold a town hall at Nevins Hall in the Memorial Building.
This takes place Saturday February 22, 2025 at 12noon.

In addition to our usual concert tent projects of offering voter registration, mail-in ballot applications, the map of Framingham precincts/districts/state representatives districts, and candidates’ information, the Framingham Democratic Committee used its tent at the Friday night concerts this summer to educate the public about Project 2025. We created a “Voting Booth” for anyone to read about the provisions of Project 2025 and vote for the “3 worst ideas on the Project 2025 agenda.” Over 70 people voted, while others declined to vote saying they couldn’t just choose 3. The “winners” were (1) banning abortion, (2) packing SCOTUS with their approved judges, and (3) ending climate protections. Every one of the 32 items on the poster got at least one vote! We also gave out stickers with the QR code that accesses a link to information about Project 2025.
Betty Muto, a life-time member of the Framingham Democratic Committee passed away on August 9, 2024.
