Election of District Officers in January
The 34th District Democratic organization will be reorganized at our January, 2009, meeting. That means that we will elect new officers and re-establish our by-laws. See Chair Ivan Weiss' message below and the January newsletter for more information. After this election, the newly elected Chair of the District willl appoint chairs of committees to do the work of the Democratic Party in the 34th. Many of the existing officers will not be running for re-election or will seek other offices, so there will beopportunities for members who want to assume a leadership position. You can also serve as a member on one of several committees which advance the cause of change in the 34th. A description of the reorganization process, the District officer positions and the committees is here. A list of 2009 Precinct Committee Officers (PCOs) who can vote at the reorganization meeting is here. More information will appear on the website between now and January.

And the Denver Post proclaimed Chris Porter's attire the "most creative costume" the last night at Invesco Field. See story here.
