Grafton Democrats cancel caucus in midst of coronavirus pandemic

The Grafton Democratic Town Committee has canceled its caucus today (Thursday, March 12) due to a statewide suspension by the Massachusetts Democratic Party in light of the pandemic COVID-19 virus.

“In light of guidance provided by state officials at this afternoon’s press conference, the Massachusetts Democratic Party is temporarily suspending all caucuses scheduled to take place,” the statement said. “In the event that this temporary suspension must continue for an extended period of time, the Party will develop a replacement to the caucus process. We will continue to follow the guidance of state and local health officials and will make a decision to end the temporary suspension based on that guidance. The Party has informed Senator Markey and Congressman Kennedy of this decision, and each supported the necessary decision by the state party to postpone the caucuses.”
