Oakham Democratic Town Committee Endorses Candidates for November 5, 2024 Election

President and Vice President Kamala Harris and  Tim Walz

Senator in Congress Elizabeth Warren

Governor’s Counselor, 7th District Paul DePalo

Senator, Worcester and Hampshire District         Sheila Dibb

The committee was unanimous in its decision to endorse these candidates, each of whom is committed to ensuring our freedoms and liberties as we move forward as a unified country. 

Each embraces the democratic principles of ensuring all citizens will have equal access to housing, economic opportunities, educational attainment, women’s reproductive rights, and recreational activities.  

Each is committed to common sense gun control while preserving the rights of hunting and fishing. 

Each of these candidates has made efforts to visit and meet with citizens in our communities.  

They listened while we spoke, and for those incumbents, have already demonstrated their advocacy on the issues important to central Massachusetts:  building our infrastructure, including high speed internet, environmental policies to support open space, clean water and clean air, respecting the diversity of our citizens, and increasing competition in the marketplace to squash price gouging. 

Democratic economic policies, including investments in the working class,  have propelled the United States as the leader of global economic growth.  

Inflation has fallen for 11 straight months while our country’s deficit has shrunk.  

The most recent job market report  revealed the addition of 254,000 jobs, unemployment at 4%  and new businesses have been added to our economy, up 30% from prepandemic levels.  

Are we better off than 4 years ago?  Yes, we are on many levels, though we still must be vigilant, which is why we ask that you join us in voting for the candidates above.  

Together we move forward.
