Get Ready to Caucus! 🥳

Caucus is officially ONE MONTH away! This year caucus will be hosted over five days between March 1-5th. Caucus will either be held in-person, virtually, or hybrid. You can find the most up-to-date information on your local caucus here.

If you don't know your caucus precinct, you can use the Secretary of State's website to find it.

Note: Colorado law allows for counties to hold their county's caucus and assembly on the same day. Democrats in Jackson, Kiowa, Lincoln, Mineral, Moffat, Morgan, Prowers, Sedgwick, and Washington Counties will be holding their county assemblies on the same day as the caucus.

Also save the date! State Assembly will be held Saturday, April 9th! More information to come.

One of our Most Loyal Democrats

We would like to take this space to Remember Dylan, Dennis Obduskey's companion and share some of Dylan's political highlights. He was a true Democrat, having met every elected official. He was a credentialed Bernie Sanders delegate at the Park County's Convention and he protested with us on the side of the highway in Bailey (that's a yawn, not a fierce look 😊). Then at a Bailey Day event and he and another dog found an odd but very cute way to comfort each other when scared by some kids with "pop caps."

Dylan you will be missed!

TONIGHT: Virtual Reception with Sec. of State Jena Griswold

Wednesday, February 2nd, 5:00 - 6:00 PM MT

Now that we’re officially in an election year, we need our grassroots supporters to bring twice as much energy if we want to re-elect Jena as Secretary of State.

You will get a chance to hear directly from Jena on her work in office and the current status of her re-election campaign. We will also have the opportunity for Q&A.

Once again, ROX Productions is preparing to present another of their record-breaking FUNraiser livecasts, this time featuring three of Colorado's Executive Branch: AG Phil Weiser, SOS Jena Griswold, and CO Treasurer Dave Young.

ROX Productions won the 2021 Volunteer of the Year Award for their exciting, fast-paced, slickly-produced livecasts, raising funds for Democrat candidates up and down the ballot here in Colorado, as well as then-candidates Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, and more. ROX Productions also co-produced the 4th Annual Obama Gala for our first virtual livecast. This all-volunteer team of talented professionals raised nearly a half-million dollars in funds for candidates and the party in 2021.

As always, this livecast event will feature live music, poetry, and fun short videos as well as time with our Colorado leaders.
