| Hello and welcome to the Blue Beacon!
The Election is here! You should have received your ballot by now. If you haven't, please call the Elections office at: 303-271-8111. Please vote YES on LL and MM. See below for more information.
If you want to know more about the election and who the Democrats are for every city and the School Board, please see our 2025 Election Page. If you have not made even a small donation, please consider helping a local Democrat financially. No amount is too small. We also need volunteers. There is contact information for local Democrats on the website, please reach out and do even one shift. Local races are critical to effective and compassionate government that touches you most closely.
Now is the time to get educated. The sooner you vote, the sooner the texts and calls will stop. If you plan to safely put your ballot in a free drop box or would like to vote in person, you can find those locations here. Let's keep JeffCo Blue in 2025! In Solidarity, Kathryn Wallace, Chair Jefferson County Democratic Party

Spotlight on LL and MM Ballot Measures |
|
|
The Colorado Democratic Party endorses both of these amendments to keep kids fed. Passing LL and MM will: Continue free school meals for over 600,000 Colorado students. Direct funding to buy fresh, local food from Colorado farmers and ranchers. Support better wages and training for frontline school nutrition staff.
Protect access to SNAP for more than 300,000 Coloradans facing federal cuts.
Without these measures, Colorado’s Healthy School Meals for All program could end for many schools as early as January 2026, risking kids’ nutrition and families’ food security.
Anya Rose from Hunger Free Colorado joined us for Second Saturday to discuss LL and MM. You can see that video here. |

Spotlight on Get Out the Vote in JeffCo |
|
|
|
Off years like this see very low turnout. The JeffCo Dems are committed to getting out the vote this year. We’re reaching thousands of Democrat-leaning voters through our texting program, reminding them to turn in their ballots. Just $50 sends 4,000 texts and could make the difference in these close local races.
If you can, please donate to GOTV today to help us reach every voter we can. Let’s make sure every Democratic voice is heard. |
