Thoughts from the Chair We are reorganizing the Colorado Democratic Party this weekend. In 2002, Colorado Democrats held one statewide office, Ken Salazar, Attorney General. At the same time, two Democrats had been elected to Congressional seats: Rep. Diana DeGette and Rep. Mark Udall. As of November of 2008, Democrats hold five Congressional seats and both U.S. Senate seats. Democrats have majorities in both the House and Senate in the Colorado General Assembly. And Democrats sit in the Governor, Treasurer and Secretary of State offices. On a statewide level, the only seat we do not hold is the Colorado Attorney General. As important, Colorado cast its nine electoral votes for President Barack Obama. He, in turn, signed one of the most important pieces of legislation for the country, here in Colorado. We have accomplished much through hard work and dedication from thousands of volunteers. I thank each of you who have been part of this exercise in real democracy. However, the work is far from done. For every person who is without a job, we must be sure to elect people who will represent their concerns. For every family without healthcare, we must make sure to fight for coverage. For every young person who wants an education, we have to lobby for opportunities for them. For every household threatened with the loss of their home, we must make sure they have a way to hold on. We have important elections in 2010 for all statewide offices, for the U.S. Senate, for House Districts and Senate Districts, for State Board of Education and CU Regent, for county commissioner, and local offices. By continuing to build our capacity at the precinct and county level, we will be able to elect and re-elect good public servants. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you in Colorado. We have been a great team. Let's keep up the momentum. Pat Waak Colorado Democratic Party
