[Corrected version — Note: the electors and alternate electors noted below were not chosen to represent the Commonwealth at the recent DNC convention as stated in the previous version, but were selected to vote as part of the electoral collage.]
In an open letter, the Bay State Stonewall Democrats proudly congratulate the five openly LGBTQ+ individuals selected by the Massachusetts Democratic State Committee to serve as electors and alternate electors of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Electors will vote as part of the electoral college, which will be elected on Nov. 5, and cast their official ballot on Dec. 17:
This historic achievement underscores our party’s progress and commitment to diversity, inclusion, and representation. These five individuals represent nearly half of Massachusetts’ total Electors and Alternate Electors, as the state is allotted eleven Electors and selects two Alternate Electors.
“We are thrilled to see these five outstanding individuals chosen to represent Massachusetts in the Electoral College,” said Holly Ryan, co-chair of the Bay State Stonewall Democrats and Democratic National Convention Delegate. “Their selection not only highlights the importance of queer representation in our democratic processes but also reflects their significant contributions to our Party and our communities.”
The five Electors/Alternate Electors are:
- Jeremy Comeau of Provincetown, Massachusetts Democratic State Committee Member and Co-Chair, Bay State Stonewall Democrats
- Eileen Duff of Gloucester, Governor’s Councilor, Massachusetts Democratic State Committee Member, and Democratic National Convention Delegate
- Tanya Neslusan of Sturbridge, Executive Director of MassEquality and former Bay State Stonewall Democrats Co-Chair
- Brian Corr of Cambridge, Massachusetts Democratic State Committee Member, and Democratic National Convention Delegate
- Lezlie Braxton Campbell of Springfield, Massachusetts Democratic State Committee Member, and former President, Young Democrats of Massachusetts
