A Message to all Massachusetts Democratic Convention Delegates 

​My name is William F. Gates. I am a resident of Worcester, a Father of 3, a retired Firefighter, a High School Physics Teacher, and I am running for the United States Senate from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts — not because it is an easy time to do it, but because the moment demands it. If you are a 2026 MassDems Convention Delegate, Alternate or Chair, please consider signing the petition linked below, to allow me to bring the issues I'm fighting for to our convention. These issues deserve a voice in the debate about our future. 

 

Today I am humbly asking for your help. I cannot stand aside from this contest and this moment of great and unprecedented peril for our nation and the future of organized human culture.

​​

The petition has been approved by the Massachusetts Democratic Party - MassDems - and is in accord with the DSC Convention rules for the Massachusetts 2026 Nominating Convention. Your signature is not a commitment to vote for me or to support me as a candidate. It is simply a non-binding demonstration of support that will be kept anonymous and reflects only that I may participate in the 2026 Democratic Convention as a candidate for the U.S. Senate. Our Democracy and the Democratic Party has always been dedicated to progress. It demands an open debate about issues, ideas and a vision for our future.
