There has probably never been a more exciting and history-making legislative session than the one that just wrapped up this month. With a Democratic majority in the House and Senate, our elected representatives were able to pass several pieces of key legislation that will allow us to exercise our fundamental freedoms, create new, loving families, and keep our communities safe.

From an election reform bill that will make our elections more accessible to more Coloradoans, to a civil unions bill that recognizes same sex unions, to gun safety; what happened under the Gold Dome this year certainly moved our state forward.

But, even though we made great strides, there will certainly be challenges ahead. Fighting for our rights is something we can never shy away from. If we truly want our community to thrive, we have to stand up for ourselves and our neighbors.

I’m extending an invitation on behalf of all Douglas County Democrats, to join us as we look to the future. There is still quite a bit of work left to do. And, together, we can do it.
