What are Democratic Town Committees?

Democratic Town Committees (DTCs) and Democratic City Committees (DCCs) are official entities recognized by the Massachusetts Democratic Party and by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Several hundred local, community-based Democratic Committees function in Massachusetts cities and towns. Their responsibilities include organizing local Democrats, working to elect Democrats to public office, and increasing Democratic registration in their respective neighborhoods.

Most of these cities and towns have Democratic City or Town Committees that hold regular meetings, often with guest speakers, and engage in various activities that promote Democratic values. Committee meetings are open to the public. You do not need to be a member to attend meetings, and you are welcome to volunteer to participate in activities that fit your interests.

The North Shore

The North Shore region of Massachusetts has no fixed definition. It may be considered as the region north of Boston, extending to the New Hampshire border, encompassing the communities that border the Atlantic Ocean and including several inland communities. This portion of the Massachusetts Cities and Towns map shows the North Shore region.

Nearly all North Shore cities and towns have a Democratic City or Town Committee. The listings below link to pages that includes links to their Websites and Facebook pages, their City/Town Halls where voting information is available, and their district officeholders.

We encourage you to contact the Democratic Committee in your town or a nearby town. You do not need to be a member to attend Committee meetings, and you may be interested in volunteering for some activities organized by these Committees.
