Message from the Chair:
Here’s to all the Democratic volunteers and staffers that put together a significant political weekend from the northern Larimer County line near Red Feather Lakes to southern Larimer County in the City Of Loveland. I was told that the turnout in Wellington was the largest anyone has seen.That is due to the work of LCDP volunteers and the efforts of our stellar Markey team.

You’ll be reading this about the same time the Rooftop Rodeo is finishing off the long weekend and the town of Estes Park is jammed with Democratic candidates.
