Workers Party of Massachusetts

Workers Party of Massachusetts candidates for the Massachusetts Legislature receive over 25,000 votes in the November 5th election. 

Workers Party of Massachusetts candidates for the state legislature received a combined total of 25,828 votes on November 5. 

Andrew Nelson, the Workers Party candidate for State Representative in the 2nd Bristol District, received 3468 votes (19%) to come in second in a 3 way race against Democrat James Hawkins and Independent Patricia Bellfield. 

Laura Saylor, who suspended her campaign but remained on the ballot as a Workers Party candidate for State Senate in the Bristol and Norfolk District, received 22,360 votes (27%) against Democrat Paul Feeney. In 2022 Laura Saylor ran for this office and received 2168 votes (3.2%).

The Workers Party views these results a success given our extremely limited resources and we plan to continue building an independent socialist working class political party in Massachusetts. On November 16 from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm the Workers Party will be hosting a meeting to review our work and plan our next steps at 284 Amory St. In Jamaica Plain. All members and supporters are encouraged to attend. 

The Workers Party of Massachusetts was formed in 2020 and became an official political designation in 2021. Members of the Workers Party believe that the capitalist class already has two political parties and both the Democratic and Republican parties are organizations built to uphold the capitalist system. The Workers Party program states that the working class needs an independent party of our own that rejects capitalism and fights for a socialist future. The Workers Party of Massachusetts believes that our candidates’ participation in these campaigns is a step on the road to working class political power and a revolutionary transformation of society.
