Message from the Chair

This Thursday evening, our new Congressman, Jared Polis, is hosting an open house at his new Fort Collins office. Please stop by, say hello, and meet the staff that will be in charge of constituent service. See the address and the details below. 

Our new representative in Colorado House District 52, Joann Ginal, will be meeting at Truman's Coffee House next Saturday morning for another informal talk with constituents. This is your chance to ask questions, discuss legislation, or offer suggestions. Please see the details below. 

Our Larimer County Democrats are holding their 2013 Central Committee meeting on the morning of February 9th. As per state statute and our rules, we meet every odd year in the first two weeks of February to elect officers of our board, senate districts and house districts for the next two year term. The voting members are all of our precinct committee people, our officers, and our Democratic elected representative. Any registered Democrat is eligible to run for any party office of the district they are registered in; please see our website for office descriptions and other information. Everyone is welcome.

--William Russell  

 

"We do not believe that in this country freedom is reserved
for the lucky or happiness for the few. We recognize that no matter how responsibly we live our lives, any one of us at any time may face a job
loss or a sudden illness or a home swept away in a terrible storm.
The commitments we make to each other through Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security, these things do not sap our initiative."
 

--President Barack Obama, Inaugural Speech, 2013
