John,
Today, the Colorado Democratic Party is proud to launch the Colorado County Comeback.

Our new strategic initiative is designed to elect community-minded folks to battleground county-level district seats. This project will prioritize targeted investments in counties and candidates, comprehensive campaign planning, rigorous training, and robust staff support for dynamic campaigns led by both incumbents and challengers. Ten applicants will be awarded with the initial grants, with more grant opportunities possible later in the year.
Why counties? Glad you asked.
Of Colorado’s 192 county commissioners, only 34% are Democrats . The stats only become more dire for Democrats when considering Boards of Education, city councils, and other county-level positions.
While Democrats are focused on bringing down the cost of living and protecting our public lands, far-right MAGA Republicans on commissions are in the pockets of polluters, and holding back progress on delivering federal resources and creating the dynamic new jobs that will revitalize communities across Colorado. It’s time to end the supermajority of far-right Republican commissioners in Colorado.
From the protection of our public lands to better zoning laws for small businesses and affordable housing, local elected officials are shaping the future of our state and the next generation. They deserve people who care more about their communities than their politics, and we’re excited to help our recruited candidates win big races up and down the ballot this fall.
Why the Colorado County Comeback?
Building a Bench : Local elected officials are the backbone of our party. They are our current and future state leaders. By supporting county-level candidates today, we are nurturing the leaders of tomorrow.
Growing Our Rural Parties : Strong local campaigns invigorate our base, increase voter engagement, and help us build the volunteer infrastructure essential for larger-scale elections.
Local Impact = Statewide Gains : By winning crucial county commissioner seats, we create a ripple effect that strengthens our standing in Congressional Districts and statewide offices, as well as on our city councils and other local races. The next frontier of Colorado politics is local, and our focus on these races is key to sustained Democratic success.
We are rolling out the program now to make sure we take our state and federal success to the local level. We're committing to a HUGE investment in this program this summer - help us double it and get into more counties with a $25, $50 or $100 donation today? >> [[link removed]]
