Hi John,  As a party, we’re preparing for the work we have in 2025.  At the beginning of every year, CDP undergoes reorganization or ‘reorg,’ our process of electing officers to lead our 64 county parties, while recruiting and training new leaders to run for local offices and developing new ways to…

We had some real bright spots in 2024 that can help guide the way forward in 2025 and beyond.

Colorado outran the red wave

Hi John,  While we are still analyzing some of the details and waiting for official election certifications, one thing is becoming clear — Colorado stood out in this election.  While most of the country took a sharp right turn, with even states like California and New York tightening, Kamala Harris…

We’re here to listen.

Hi John,  Since last Tuesday, we’ve taken some time to rest, think, and reflect on the outcome of the election. Colorado was a bright spot nationally thanks to the hard work of so many volunteers, organizers, and leaders in our counties, but we know there is still more to work through as we begin t…

Let's send Yadira, Trisha, and Adam to Congress.

Hi John,  The race for control of Congress is a true toss-up. Democrats need to win just a handful of seats to regain control. Here in Colorado, we have three battleground races that could very well determine who has control of the House of Representatives.  Colorado’s 3rd, 4th, and 8th Congression…

Trump says he will win Colorado

Hi John,  At a recent stump speech, Donald Trump went through his typical litany of grievances, insults, and unhinged behavior.  But, this time he took it a step further and said that he was confident that he would win Colorado on Election Day. Yeah…we aren’t going to let that happen. We know that …
