Message from the Chair
There are always competing stories when the election season warms up, and the longer your memory is, the less today's article means. The number one lesson is that you can have a lasting effect on public policy by showing up and making your case. That's what happens when you get out and knock doors for your candidates. That's what happens when you embrace a long term plan for activism and promote the public policy that will nurture your commuity and your family. When you continue to show up and make your case year after year, you move forward. 
You can call the office at 689-6391 or write info@larimerdems.org if you need any assistance in connecting with a campaign that is out working for your interests. Or show up at one of the events listed below, there are always friends in the room that will help sign you up for a little good work. Join us as soon as possible, ballots will be in the mail to every active voter in Larimer County in about three weeks. 
Because every voter is going to be mailed a ballot in this election cycle (Thanks to Senator John Kefalas, Representative Randy Fischer, Representative Joann Ginal, the rest of your Democratic Colorado state legislators, and Governor Hickenlooper), it's always a good idea to check your registration at www.larimer.org/elections. If you have a valid Colorado driver's license you can update your information online and receive your ballot at the right address on time.
--William Russell

"

It's a tight race, was always going to be that way. Internals have been steady, no wild swings like you see in the news. 

Lots of noise this week, but all internals since March have Udall leading, with last two 47/42 & 48/42. Onward!"

--Adam Dunstone
Campaign Manager,

Mark Udall for Colorado
