Congratulations to Town Electees!



 Hearty congratulations to the exceptional individuals who have dedicated their time and energy to serving our town.  Special thanks to two of our own Holliston Democratic Town Committee members: Dan Alfred, newly elected to the School Committee, and Michelle Zeamer, who has been re-elected to the Finance Committee.


Dan's election to the Holliston School Committee signifies his passion for education and his desire to contribute to the development and success of our students. His expertise and dedication will undoubtedly help shape the future of our school system, ensuring that every child in our community receives a high-quality education.


Michelle's re-election to the Holliston Finance Committee demonstrates her unwavering commitment to fiscal responsibility and strategic planning. Her experience and knowledge in financial matters will continue to be invaluable as she works diligently to ensure our town's resources are managed effectively and responsibly.


It's important to recognize that these individuals, along with others who serve on various boards and committees, do so as volunteers. They selflessly offer their time, expertise, and energy to make our town a better place. Their contributions serve as a reminder of the strength and spirit of our community.


With appreciation,

The Holliston Democratic Town Committee

2023 Holliston Democratic Caucus


Holliston Democratic Town Committee (HDTC) members are hosting the 2023 Democratic Town Caucus to select delegates to attend the 2023 Massachusetts Democratic State Convention. The Holliston caucus will convene at 10:30 AM, Saturday, June 24, at Holliston Town Hall. All Democrats registered to vote in Holliston are invited to participate and are encouraged to run for delegate to represent Holliston at this year’s convention. The convention will take place September 23 at the Tsongas Center in Lowell where Massachusetts Democrats will gather to vote on a party platform. This is an exciting opportunity for Democrats to shape their party! 

The caucus is open to the public and press, but only Holliston's registered and pre-registered Democrats are eligible to participate. Pre-registered Democrats must be at least 16 years old on the caucus date. Same-day registration is allowed. Delegates must be present at the caucus to be elected (except persons serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, with prior notice). Please check your voter registration status and update if needed prior to the caucus.


Democrats will be voting to elect 10 delegates and 4 alternates to represent Holliston at the convention. Those not selected as a delegate or an alternate, and who meet the qualifications, can apply separately to be an add-on delegate in the following categories: youth, minority, disabled, LGBTQ+, or ask about being a convention volunteer. Refer to the Preliminary Call to Convention for more information.


Registration will open at 10:00 AM. The caucus will begin at 10:30 AM. The caucus doors will close at 10:45 AM. Everyone waiting in line to register at 10:45 AM will be admitted to the caucus. Anyone admitted after 10:45 AM will be designated as a guest and will not be able to run for delegate or to vote.


For more information or if you plan to run for a delegate or alternate seat, please contact Cynthia Burrow.
