FRAMINGHAM - Super Tuesday in Massachusetts is March 5, as Framingham voters will be taking to the polls.

Outside of the presidential races, the major topic on the ballot is the makeup of the Framingham Democratic Committee (FDC). The group’s goal is to promote and support the Democratic Party at the local, state, and national levels.

A pair of coalitions—named Group 1 and Group 2—have been formed, as over 50 names are on the ballot to be voted onto the 35-member committee. Group 1 contends that they have more experience and are more united, while Group 2 has labeled themselves as the “Democrats for change.”

Former State Senator David Magnani is also on the ballot for the FDC as a non-group candidate.

Voters are advised that they do not have to vote for one group or the other; they can mix and match any of the names on the ballot.

We spoke to State Representative for the 7th Middlesex District and Group 1 member Jack Patrick Lewis as well as the Chair of the city's Strategic Initiatives and Financial Oversight Committee Mary Kate Feeney--who is a member of Group 2--to learn more about their respective coalition's platform.
