The Methuen Democratic Committee held the annual breakfast yesterday, June 11, 2022 at the First Church Parish Hall. Thank you to Committee Chair Lisa Ferry for all of her hard work on the event. Great job as emcee by City Council Chair D.J. Beauregard. It was really great to see people able to gather and hear candidates talk about the important issues facing Massachusetts and the Merrimack Valley.

The Committee did a straw poll for many of the contested races, and those results are below. The Committee honored retiring Representative Linda Dean Campbell as the Democrat of the Year. It was a well deserved honor.
