Dear FDTC Community,

Election 2024 is behind us and we are just beginning to grasp the implications and reflect on the lessons learned. One thing is perfectly clear already: the way our amazing team of volunteers came together is nothing short of remarkable.

Thank you to all who worked so tirelessly, donating your time and treasure for our candidates up and down the Blue ballot. We have so much to be proud of, and can hold our heads high.

Though we did not get the outcome we had hoped for in the Presidential election we have many reasons to celebrate: we reelected Senator Elizabeth Warren and U.S. Congressman Bill Keating; filled two out of three key state seats: Dylan Fernandes for State Senate, Plymouth Barnstable and Thomas Moakley, State Representative, Barnstable, Dukes, Nantucket; elected Susan Moran for Barnstable County Clerk of Superior Court; and reelected county Commissioners Mark Forest and Sheila Lyons.

These outstanding representatives will play a critical role in protecting our rights in what is likely to be an extremely unfriendly federal legislative environment.

Falmouth voters delivered in Election 2024, and it could not have happened without you, our dedicated and extremely capable volunteers. Thank you for all you did and how generously you have shared in our fight for democracy.

Let’s take time to process and grieve, and get back to the work when each of us feels ready. And then, we’ll keep the fire burning. Next time we will be unstoppable.

With deep gratitude and fierce optimism,

Rosemary Dreger Carey, FDTC Chair
