Message from the Chair

Four years ago, Colorado was not leading the nation in job growth. Our unemployment figures were unacceptable and our Democratic representatives dedicated their tenure to changing this trend. The good news is that Business Insider just ranked Colorado as first in job growth. In four short years, our Democratic leadership helped us find our stride and our economy is back in the black. Our midterm elections are less than a dozen weeks away and we have the opportunity to continue to aid job growth and put food on kitchen tables in Colorado. Please volunteer and support our efforts to Get Out The Vote now. Pick up the phone, call your favorite candidate, or 689-6391 for a chance to help job growth in Colorado.

Talking about food, September 6th is the Larimer County Democrats Annual Picnic. We're going to put on a great midterm rally in Dian Sparling's back yard. We have some new celebrity chefs throwing down in support of the new employment numbers and you have to join us. We're going to hear from our hardworking Democratic Congressman, Jared Polis, and many more. You can RSVP at Larimerdems.org. See the details below.

If you want to hang at our booth at New West Fest, please call our First Vice Chair, Kristin Stephens, at 970-581-7580. I think we still have room for a few more volunteers.

--William Russell


 

"I hope we can get back to what I call the kitchen table. Everyday issues that people are really worried about and focused on."

--Dick Gephardt
