In February of 2023 a group of dedicated citizens met following the outreach of Patricia O'Connor to form the Oakham Democratic Town Committee, Oakham DTC. We each had our own reasons for our political activism but our prevailing one commonality is our commitment to ensuring our energies and talents be used to better our community and knowing the Democratic Party can advance that cause.
"Massachusetts Democrats believe that every person has the right to live a full, meaningful life with equal access to opportunity, security, and inclusion. We believe that our government exists to empower people by providing high-quality public education, ensuring universal access to healthcare, protecting our environment, reducing income inequality, and guaranteeing equal rights and opportunity for all. We believe that when we empower people to organize their local communities, we can change our Commonwealth and our country for the better."

"Our cause has been, since the days of Thomas Jefferson, the cause of the common man and the common woman. Our commitment has been, since the days of Andrew Jackson, to all those he called "the humble members of society--the farmers, mechanics, and laborers." On this foundation we have defined our values, refined our policies and refreshed our faith." Senator Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts
