Message from the Chair

Please join all of your fellow Larimer County Democrats in welcoming Senator Mark Udall to the LCD Barackfast this Saturday. This event promises to be a real boost for our 2014 GOTV efforts. I hope you'll show up for a great brunch and contribute to our campaigns next year. 10:00 am to 1:00 pm, Saturday, April 20th, see the details below.

The Young Democrats meeting has been moved to next week because of the late season snows. We've posted the new details below.

Senator Kefalas, Representatives Randy Fischer and Joann Ginal, are hosting a community issues forum on early childhood education and childcare on Saturday, April 27th in Fort Collins. Our legislators have assembled a expert panel that will address a daily discussion at the kitchen tables of Larimer's families. Quality childcare and early education programs are the most important piece of a working family's economic puzzle. Please show a little support for your legislator's courage by showing up at the forum listed below.
