As everyone is preparing for the caucus on March 6th, please make sure that you bring proof of voter registration. There should be a list of registered voters at each caucus location. However, in the past there have been instances of names not being on the voter registration list that the each jurisdiction provides. As we know, mistakes can happen, so it's better to be prepared and have proof of voter registration with you. Unfortunately, a drivers license does not prove registration. However, if you did receive your postcard in the mail, bring it with you to your caucus location, that will suffice.

You should be able to verify and print out, screen shot, capture however you can your voter registration information by using the following link: www.sos.state.co.us/voter/pages/pub/olvr/findVoterReg.xhtml

You can also pre-register here. caucus.cologop.org/

Voters can use the Colorado Democrats' Caucus Lookup Tool to find their precinct caucus location: www.coloradodems.org/caucus-lookup/

If the tool does not recognize your address, you can look up your precinct on the Secretary of State's website. Click on this link, input your voter information, and find your precinct number under the "County and District Information" Tab: www.sos.state.co.us/voter/pages/pub/home...?faces-redirect=true

Two precinct committee people will be elected from each precinct to become the members of the county Central Committee, the governing body of the county party.

Delegates at each precinct will be asked to show their support for one of 5 candidates for Governor who are using the caucus system, or the caucus-petition process, to attempt entry onto the primary ballot by garnering at least 15% of eligible caucus participants.

Noel Ginsburg
Cary Kennedy
Mike Johnston
Jared Polis
Erik Underwood
or Uncommitted

58 delegates will be elected to the March 24 County Assembly in Shawnee, and from their 10 candidates will be elected to the state Assembly April 14 in Broomfield.

Attendees will also submit platform resolutions to be voted on at the caucus, with those supported moving on to the County Assembly for a similar vote. ParkCoDems have an added benefit: Chair Dennis Obduskey is also Chair of the State Platform Committee! (Though of course, he will be impartial and interested in all approved resolutions).

Additional Notes:

Who May Participate:

A person may vote at the precinct caucus, be elected a delegate or an alternate from the caucus and/or be elected as a precinct committee person if they have been:
• A resident in the precinct for at least thirty (30) days, and
• Registered to vote in the precinct for at least 29 days and
• A registered Democrat for not less than two months prior to the date of the caucus as shown on the registration books of any county clerk and recorder in the State of Colorado (Date to be confirmed per the Secretary of State’s election calendar). However, any person who attained the age of 18 or who became a naturalized citizen within a two month period immediately preceding shall be eligible to vote at precinct caucuses even though he/she has been a registered Democrat for less than two months. If a registered Democrat has become a resident of the county during the two months immediately preceding the precinct caucus, such affiliation with the party at said prior residence shall be counted in determining whether the person has been a registered Democrat for two months.

Look forward to seeing you!

Colorado Caucus Results 2018: Cary Kennedy Is the Big Democratic Winner
Michael Roberts | March 7, 2018

Results from the 2018 Colorado caucus are nearly complete, and while state Republicans aren't releasing details about their vote, Democratic attendees have given gubernatorial candidate Cary Kennedy a big victory. At this writing, she has 50 percent of the vote, more than all of her competitors combined.

Representative Jared Polis, the perceived favorite among Democrats running for governor, finished in second place, more than 17 percent behind.

According to the caucus page on the Colorado Democratic Party website, 96.32 percent of precincts have reported their tallies thus far, representing 23,168 votes.

Why I’m Running for Park County Clerk and Recorder:

My name is Diane Berry and my husband and I moved to our forever home in Park County in May of 2016. We were drawn here by the beautiful scenery, abundance of wildlife and proximity to our favorite hobbies of hiking, skiing and snowshoeing.

I have a Juris Doctorate (law degree) but after practicing Family Law for several years many years ago, I realized that my heart lay in my social work roots. We opened a small mental health clinic in Wisconsin that we ran for 12 years. I was the director and only full time therapist, though we had a number of part time therapists working with us. While I found that experience fulfilling, we closed the clinic when we left Wisconsin. Since that time I have been teaching online for Kaplan University, which has now been acquired by Purdue University.

I have never run for office before so this process is new to me. In submitting my name for the office of Clerk and Recorder, my hope is to give something back to my new community. I believe my legal knowledge will be an asset in this position and my managerial and organizational skills will assist me in effectively and efficiently performing my duties.

Thank you for reading my post. I am currently working on a Facebook page for my campaign and will share the link as soon as it is completed. In the meantime, lease let me know if you have any questions about my candidacy or me.

Why I’m Running for Park County Assessor:

I am a candidate for Park County Assessor and wanted to share a bit of background on me. My wife and I moved to Park County from New Mexico as we wanted more mountains and more snow. I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Political Science and a Master of Social Work from Tulane University.

I am currently retired after over 40 years working in mental health. I am running for office to continue a lifetime of public service. I am interested in the Assessor’s office because I believe property assessments should be fair and unbiased. I also believe voters should have a choice. Therefore I am offering myself as a candidate.

Thank you for reading my post. I am currently working on a Facebook page for my campaign and will share the link as soon as it is completed. In the meantime, please let me know if you have any questions about my candidacy or me.

Hello Blue Wavers!
