Message from the Chair
Our Get Out the Vote efforts are starting this Thursday with Barack the Vote. This CSU event is intended to help everybody Larimer County that is eligible to vote, vote. We're partnering with the College Dems and Organizing For America to host a few hours of music on the Lory Student Center Plaza. We're going to encourage everybody to update their registration, pass out some awesome Larimer Dems swag, and help Congressman Jared Polis rock the house. Details below.
Omelets For America is benefiting our Larimer County Commissioner Candidate, Karen Stockley, this weekend. See the details below and help Doug and Kathryn promote a representative for all of us.
The Larimer County Canvass Corps are leaving our offices to knock doors every day now. All of your candidates are meeting voters at the door and exchanging ideas for a just and vibrant economy. They need your help. Stop by 606 S. Mason or call 689-6391 for more info.
--William Russell
"We cannot let anyone discourage us from casting our ballots. We cannot let anyone make us feel unwelcome in the voting booth. It is up to us to make sure that in every election, every voice is heard and every vote is counted."
--Michelle Obama
