The Westford Republican Town Committee will be holding a Caucus on Saturday, Feb. 10 at the Cameron Senior Center, 20 Pleasant St., Westford, at 10:30 a.m. to elect delegates to the 2018 Massachusetts Republican Convention which will be held at the DCU Center in Worcester on April 28.
The snow date for the caucus will be Feb. 17. Official members of the Westford Republican Town Committee are the only eligible voters to elect the delegates for the convention but any registered Republican (registered by Dec. 31, 2017) can run for a delegate spot.
The Convention’s primary role is to endorse statewide candidates for nomination ahead of the state primary election in September 2018. Republican candidates seeking endorsement are for the offices of:
- United States Senator in Congress (Class I)
- Governor of the Commonwealth
- Lieutenant Governor of the Commonwealth
- Treasurer and Receiver-General
- Auditor of the Commonwealth
- Attorney General
- Secretary of the Commonwealth
At the State Convention, candidates must attain 15 percent of the delegates’ vote on any ballot in order to qualify for ballot access for the state primary election.
Newly elected chairwoman of the Westford Republican Town Committee, Kathy Lynch, will preside over the Westford Caucus. All registered Republicans residing in Westford who have questions or interest in running for one of the nineteen open delegate spots are urged to contact Lynch at WRTCinfo@icloud.com as soon as possible.
