Tuesday’s Elections showed some pretty amazing results for the endorsed candidates of the Young Democrats. Most of our candidates won, and many of those candidates whose races didn’t turn out as we’d hoped still came in close and ran great campaigns. The Young Democrats of Massachusetts thanks our members and allies for putting themselves out there as leaders in the community, and for supporting our Democratic ideals. Congratulations to our newly elected and re-elected friends. We wish you the very best of luck in your terms.
