This political map shows how the Grand Valley vote has changed since the 2016 election. Every single area on the valley floor has trended towards being more Democratic. If we can keep the trend going, we can finally stop electing embarrassing, unethical, unqualified, costly and irrational candidates who lie and commit crimes while in office, like Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters.
Mesa County Democrats will gather for a big canvassing event September 10th and are asking everyone’s help to get the word out about which state and local candidates belong to the only remaining political party that deals in reality.
If you’d like to help elect rational Democratic candidates to local and state offices, meet at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, September 10 at the North Shelter in Long Family Memorial Park, 3117 F Road (Patterson Road). Canvassing will be finished by 11:30 so folks can make it to Pride Fest at Lincoln Park. The shelter has been reserved so there shouldn’t be any conflict. People will just be dropping literature for state and local Democratic candidates. No door knocking is involved. Turfs will consist of around 25 to 35 houses. They’ll pair up anybody with a buddy if they want one, and the time commitment is short– a maximum of 2 hours — but can be as short as you feel comfortable. The people who live in the houses will be medium supporters for the Democrats.
