It's Tuesday and that means it's time to help Representative Joann Ginal kick off her re-election campaign at Odell's brewery. Our representative from house district 52 has been working hard for us during the legislative session and now it's time for us to return the favor by getting out and contacting some voters. But let's start with a fine Fort Collins microbrew. See the details below and see you today at 7.

I want to thank Kristin Stephens, Martha Coleman, Patsy Morris, Anne Wilseck and Iris Hentze for their work organizing that nice reception for Maggie Fox and Senator Udall last Saturday. We got to meet many of our organizers and the Senator said he's fired up and ready to go. Stay tuned for the grand opening of our local office.

You should have received your primary ballot by now. We're encouraging everybody to vote this ballot, even though there are no contested races. The message is always: vote every ballot, vote the whole ballot, and return that ballot as quickly as possible. If you live in Loveland, please return your Loveland ballot to the City of Loveland and your primary ballot to the Larimer County Clerk. Do not put them in the same envelope. Thanks for voting.
