Message from the Chair:
Lisa Poppaw is opening her house once again for our Congresswoman, Betsy Markey, on Sat. afternoon, June 19. Lisa never fails to find a date to host a house party for each Democratic candidate of Larimer County. These women are incredible rpresentatives for their constituents and you can see them both in the same place this Sat. Details below.
And my own Colorado House Representative, John Kefalas, is walking and knocking again. On Sat. morning, John is doing what he does best . . . reaching out to voters of House District 52. Scroll down for the details. See the new campaign office, get some exercise, some fresh air, and a few votes for a great representative.
William Russell
