| Hello and welcome to the Blue Beacon!
Have you been watching the Olympics? I've been watching the figure skating, and it is breathtaking. It warms my heart to see the pride in our country. Even while the values of democracy and freedom are under attack here at home, we can come together in these international games to celebrate athleticism and teamwork.
Indeed, it is teamwork that I want to celebrate in this edition of the Blue Beacon. Caucus and Assembly are like the Olympics of the democratic process in Colorado. This is one of the busiest times for the JeffCo Dems, and our Caucus and Assembly success depends on a large and dedicated team. I am so proud of and grateful for every leader and volunteer that has stepped forward to move us through this process. You all deserve a gold medal. Yes, it is Caucus and Assembly season! This can be a very confusing process. Please attend a training before you register for Caucus. The full schedule is below.
Caucus will be March 7, 2026, and County Assembly will be March 14, 2026. Both will be virtual. Plan on spending a few hours at each. If you are a Precinct Organizer, your term ends on March 7, and we hope you will run again to continue in the role. In Solidarity,
Kathryn Wallace, Chair Jefferson County Democratic Party |
