Message from the Chair
Greetings!
Thank you to everyone who came out for our annual picnic on Saturday! A great time was had by all, and we almost raised the balance of funds that we will need to get out the vote in 2016. If you didn't have a chance to join us but still want to help out, please go to Larimerdems.org to contribute to our victory on November 8.
One of our top priorities in Colorado this year is to take back the State Senate. Senator John Kefalas knows what it means to Colorado's families to overcome the current one-seat Republican majority in the Colorado Senate and open the way to good legislation improving economic fairness, clean air, land and water, multimodal transportation, and renewable energy. You can join John on Wednesday at Fort Collins Brewery and help him lead a new Democratic Colorado Senate to address these crucial issues. Details below.
Thanks for supporting the Larimer Dems!
James Thompson, Chair
