| Hello and welcome to the Blue Beacon!
The JeffCo Dems are very hard at work preparing for Caucus and Assembly. This entire Blue Beacon is dedicated to this process. There are three training opportunities left, including one TONIGHT. These sessions provide a great overview of the process which is complicated and involved. All questions will be answered. You can also find videos of the training at our website.
Jefferson County is using a virtual approach to both Caucus and Assembly. Many people lament to me that they miss getting to know their neighbors at Caucus. Up to and including 2020, Caucus was in-person. However, when the Presidential choice went to a Primary, we found that in person attendance dropped to a very few people per precinct with many precincts having no attendance at all. Quite simply, your neighbors are not attending Caucus. However, we see the value in meeting others who are this involved. We will be holding an after-party so we can get together in person. Details to come.
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 |
