Framingham Democratic Committee Race: Mary Kate Feeney of Group 2

We sat down for an interview with SIFOC Chair and Group 2 member Mary Kate Feeney.

Tuesday, March 5, is Super Tuesday in Massachusetts, as residents will take to the polls for the primary elections. The major race here in Framingham: a pair of groups are contending to be voted onto the Framingham Democratic Committee, which aims to promote and support the Democratic Party at the local, state, and national levels.

Registered Democrats along with independent or unenrolled voters who choose the Democratic ballot will be able to cast votes for the FDC. 34 candidates make up Group 1, while Group 2 features 24 people. Former State Senator David Magnani running as a non-group candidate. Voters are free to mix and match their votes; they don't have to vote for just one group or the other.

Leading up to Tuesday's election, we sat down with State Representative and Group 1 member Jack Patrick Lewis, as well as the Chair of the city's Strategic Initiatives and Financial Oversight Committee Mary Kate Feeney--who is a member of Group 2--to learn more about their respective coalition's platform.
