Message from the Chair

Finally, It's May. When the legislature wraps up it's work for the year, the Governor uncaps his pen for the last time, and our precinct committee people turn their thoughts to canvassing. That's right, it's time to knock some doors and work on our general election turnout. We're going to start with a short list of friendly doors in 52 and 53 this Saturday, and extend our efforts through the rest of the county before May is too warm. If you're a committee person in 52 or 53, or just want to help out in these districts, come see us at the office this Saturday morning at 9:15. Or email info@Larimerdems.org if you'd like a more convenient time.

Your favorite Congressman, Jared Polis, is celebrating his birthday next week. He's requested only a little friendly support this year, just so that he can keep fighting for Larimer County and Democratic values next year and beyond. Please see the details below and join us on Tuesday, the 13th.

I'm pleased to announce that the women of the Larimer County Democrats will be hosting Senator Mark Udall on June 7th for an afternoon event. This event will be a free grassroots rally focused for women's issues, please stay tuned for more details from a powerful and extensive host committee.
