The Sandwich Democratic Town Committee

Via Kate Donaghue (Donaghue’s Democratic Dispatch) we have learned that last night the State Committee changed the Platform Convention date from June 1st to July 13th.  According to Donaghue:

This date is after the special general election for U. S. Senate. Massachusetts Democratic Party Chairman, John Walsh, recommended the change so that Massachusetts Democrats can focus on ensuring that a Democrat is elected to represent us. We need to be talking to voters in this shortened election cycle. When that is over we can give our full attention to the platform.

So mark (or “re-mark”) your calendars accordingly. For now the Platform Convention date change does not impact the dates for local caucuses and delegate selection. But stay tuned in case it does.
