Vote selection and interpretation by representatives of Mass Scorecard without approval or participation from the Massachusetts Democratic Party. |
The Platform Committee weakened the party platform because they believe that attracts voters. Progressive Democrats disagree: we attract voters by having strong & clear progressive values, and asking legislators to vote based on those values.
The Massachusetts Democratic Party Charter says, “The most recent Democratic platform…is the official position of the Democratic Party…. every official elected shall adhere to the…platform. Failure to do so…may be publicized by…action of any Party convention.”
The platform MATTERS because we can hold our legislators accountable to it! Here’s how one legislator compares to the Party Platform…. |
