Message from the Chair
Tonight, Larimer County will welcome Colorado Representative Sal Pace in support of his campaign to retake Colorado Congressional District 3 for the Democratic team and build a better house in Washington, D.C. Representative Pace is running one of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's vaunted Red to Blue campaigns. The DCCC's Red to Blue program highlights top Democratic campaigns across the country, and provides them with early financial, grassroots and strategic support. The Red to Blue is run by our very own Congressman Jared Polis. Please see the details below.
Please join our candidates, Congressman Jared Polis, James Shelton for Colorado State House and Karen Stockley for Larimer County Commissioner for Berthoud Days this Saturday. There is a parade in the morning, and an afternoon of activities in the Town of Berthoud City Park. This is the first of the summer campaign events and the weather is going to be gorgeous. Details below.
--William Russell "These candidates are focused on reigniting the American Dream." --Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi
