“Democrats believe that we’re greater together than we are on our own—that this country succeeds when everyone gets a fair shot, when everyone does their fair share, when everyone plays by the same rules.”
– Democratic National Committee
Tuesday, March 4 is Caucus Night! At 7 p.m., Democrats across Colorado will gather to partake in the purest form of Democratic activism. And we hope you’ll join us!
Why should I attend when there are no Democratic primaries in statewide races this year? There are so many other ways to engage beyond top tier races; Democrats across the state are stepping up to run for office, and they need your support.
During caucus activities you’ll be able to take a more active role in your local Democratic party by casting votes for contested races down ballot, suggesting changes to the county platform, and joining the precinct committee responsible for voter outreach in your neighborhood. You can also run to serve as a delegate to your county, congressional, or even state assembly, where you’ll have the ability to ensure the issues you find most important are represented by your elected officials.
Please invest an hour to help shape your party, let your voice be heard, and engage in the Democratic process we’re so lucky to be a part of!
