Watertown youth delegate attends Democratic state convention 

Rosdom Kaligian of Watertown attended the Massachusetts Democratic State Convention at the DCU Center in Worcester, the ANC of Eastern Massachusetts reported. He was a youth delegate to the convention, where he supported U.S. Sen. Ed Markey’s bid to win the convention’s endorsement in the September primary. 

Kaligian has developed an interest in local politics while attending public meetings of the Watertown Planning Department. Consultants hired by the city have presented different plans for the revitalization and redevelopment of Watertown Square. Kaligian is passionate about public transportation and spoke out to ensure that the redevelopment plans are pedestrian- and transit-friendly and not overly biased in favor of motor vehicles. He recently joined the Watertown Democratic Committee to further his political activism.
