Message from the Chair
Democrats across the state met in Pueblo for the State Convention and Assembly last Saturday. We officially nominated Stephen Ludwig for CU Regent at Large, and we elected a few more delegates to support President Obama in Charlotte, NC at the Democratic National Convention.
The nominations are finished, and it is now time to get to work! Volunteer on a campaign and help get some Democrats elected in Larimer County.
--Anne Wilseck
