Message from the Chair
Senator John Kefalas, Representative Randy Fischer and Representative Joann Ginal are holding a Town Hall Meeting this Saturday morning at the Coloradoan Community Room to discuss current legislation. This is a very important session of our state house and state senate. Our representatives are debating many things that will protect our families and the quality of life in our Colorado communities. Showing up to help them do their job well is the best thing you can do for yourself this Saturday morning. Please see the details below and join the discussion.
I'm thrilled that we have confirmed Congressman Keith Ellison, rising star of the Democratic Party and Co-chair of the Progressive Caucus, to keynote our dinner on March 30th. Colorado Democratic Party Chairman Rick Palacio will also be joining us. Please go to larimerdems.org and buy your seat right away and write officemanager@larimerdems.org to contribute to our silent auction. A special thanks to Congressman Polis and his team for their outstanding work every day and their help in booking this speaker.
--William Russell
"....quite frankly you are the worst excuse for a journalist I've ever seen."
