Democrats and Republicans alike, with an interest in being involved in their government on a personal level, were able to attend and contribute.

Speaking out for Andrew Romanoff
This year Democrats are extremely lucky to have a choice of who will be their candidate for U. S. Senate. And they’re extremely lucky to have on the ballot a person of conviction who will stand up for Coloradoans; that person is Andrew Romanoff. Andrew has taken a stand that he will not accept PAC or corporate money in this election. Like many of us, he believes that money corrupts the system.
