Message from the Chair

The Larimer County Democrats will be meeting for caucus in less than a month. We're just finalizing our last few smaller sites, but we have reserved super sites for House Districts 51, 52, and 53 again. House District 51 will be gathering at Mountain View High School, House District 52 will gather at Lesher Middle School, and House District 53 will meet again at Rocky Mountain High School. Our assembly will meet at Fossil Ridge High School on the morning of March 29th. We'll be publishing a more comprehensive list when we confirm our last few sites.

This Saturday, Larimer's Democratic state delegation will be discussing the current legislative session at the Harmony Library. I know Senator Kefalas, Representatives Fischer and Ginal, would love to answer your questions and discuss any bill that interests you. Please see the details below and join the group.

--William Russell

"I brag on the Democratic Party. We're libertarian on social issues, it's live and let live. Fiscally, we're conservative and responsible, and we're environmentally conscious." 

--Senator Mark Udall
