Current members of the Acton Democratic Town Committee are listed below, with officeholders noted in bold text. Most members were elected in the March 5, 2024 Presidential Primary; others are elected by the committee at regular meetings of the Town Committee. An asterisk (*) after the name indicates a 20-year Member and a pound sign (#) indicates an Associate Member. In addition to the 20-year members, by State law we are allowed up to 35 elected Members, plus an unlimited number of Associate Members.

While anyone is welcome to attend our meetings, to officially join the Committee you must be an Acton resident and a registered Democrat. We welcome new members at any time. If you are interested, please see the end of this page for more details.

Information for those interested in attending and/or joining:
The Acton Democratic Town Committee welcomes you to attend any of our meetings. If you then want to join, please note that you must be an Acton resident and a registered Democrat. To start the process, please email actondtc@gmail.com and include a bit of information about yourself and how to best contact you. One of the current members will reach out to you as your “New Member Partner.” The Partner will welcome you, answer any questions you may have, and explain aspects of the Committee including:

  • our mission to elect Democrats and to contribute to our local community

  • the process to become elected as an Associate Member and eventually a Member

  • our typical activities throughout the year – meetings, caucuses, canvassing, and community service events, etc.

  • how to add yourself to the mailing list

  • where to find the website and Facebook pages

  • how we are chartered by the Massachusetts Democratic Party and how our activities are governed by the Committee’s bylaws and guidelines

New Member Partners are typically Members who have experience as active Committee people and have volunteered to partner with a prospective new member. The Partner will be a resource and reach out for the first year to their new member.
