U.S. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren visited Wareham last week to say that while Democrats do not begrudge the rich, they need to remember that they didn't become wealthy on their own, according to Wareham Democratic Town Committee member Kate Furler.

Warren was in town on February 21, visiting the Committee in the cafeteria of Wareham Town Hall during its annual caucus.

Furler, who was so inspired by Warren's speech that she decided to run for and was elected as a delegate to the Massachusetts Democratic Convention, said that Warren spoke about keeping middle-class jobs.

"In order for people to have a profitable business," said Furler about Warren's speech, "[businesses] need to have security, we need the police, the fire department ... schools to provide workers."

Warren spoke about government providing those necessary resources for businesses to function, according to Furler. "Without some kind of infrastructure, nobody is making any money," Furler said.

About 25 registered Democrats met on February 21 as part of the caucus to elect delegates to the state Convention being held on June 2 at the MassMutual Center in Springfield.

An additional 35 people were also in attendance.

Some, such as Amit Johar of Cranberry Highway who is running for the two-year Board of Selectmen seat vacated by Michael Schneider, were there to network and gather support for their own campaigns, according to Furler.

Others were there simply to see Warren speak, Furler said.

William Keating, who will run for Congress in November when Wareham moves into the 9th congressional district under the state's redistricting plan, and Bristol County District Attorney Samuel Sutter, who will run for the same seat, also spoke at the caucus.

The caucus elected 11 delegates and 2 alternates to go to the upcoming Democratic Convention.

Furler also said she was impressed with Warren's story about her father working his way up to become a janitor. "She's a hard-working, good-hearted person," Furler said of Warren.

The Democratic Town Committee, the most active town committee in the state according to Furler, meets on the third Tuesday of every month.
