Message from the Chair
Time to staff for NewWestFest on August 11&12. This is a great chance to speak to thousands of voters from all parts of Larimer County and have a great time as well. The President's team will be there to work on voter registration updates. Congressman Polis will be shaking hands and meeting his new constituents all weekend. Call or email Kristin Stephens; find her info below.
All of our campaigns are out connecting with voters now. This is the moment where you can make a difference for the candidate of your choice. Make that call today, or call the office if you can't find the right number below.
--William Russell "My boyhood friend Jack became a doctor - and a conservative. He had gone to public schools, attended college with the help of a government scholarship, went to medical school on the Army's dime, and learned his specialty in military hospitals. He insisted that the government had done nothing for him. In that way, he is both the soul and the wit of the Republican Party." --Richard Cohen
