New England boasts a proud tradition of self-government in service to the common good.  The Braintree Democratic Town Committee is dedicated to keeping that legacy alive and putting it to work for the benefit of all.  We reject the un-American notion of government as some distant, interfering entity, and embrace instead the conviction that government is all of US - united in our responsibilities to each other, our families, our community, our state, and our nation - doing together what individuals cannot do so well by themselves.  The Democratic Town Committee works together in pursuit of two main goals:  electing Democratic officials who take seriously the responsibilities of good government, and implementing democratic principles in service to a thriving Braintree.
