The Montezuma County Dems will hold caucus and assembly virtually via Zoom (attendees will be able to use laptops, desktops, iPads and other digital readers, phones, and other digital devices to participate).

WHAT HAPPENS AT CAUCUS? At this very short meeting, we'll elect 2 precinct organizers (POs) per precinct (visit this page to learn more about what POs do), we'll recruit people to be Election Judges in this critical midterm election year, and all eligible caucus attendees can be delegates to the county assembly simply by staying on the Zoom link (must attend the entire caucus meeting in order to be a delegate to assembly - no alternates or proxies permitted).

WHY ATTEND CAUCUS? If you want to help your favorite candidates get on the primary ballot, from the county level all the way to US Senate, you must attend caucus and then be a delegate to county assembly.

ASSEMBLY

WHEN? Saturday, March 7, 2026, immediately after the conclusion of caucus, approximately 10:15 am

WHAT GETS DONE AT COUNTY ASSEMBLY?

First, delegates will certify the newly elected POs.
Then delegates will vote to approve the Democratic nominee/s for county commissioner (currently Rebecca Busic is the declared candidate). To get on the primary ballot a candidate must receive 30% of the vote.
Next delegates will vote for their preferred candidate for HD 58 (1 delegate), HD 58 (4 delegates), and Congressional District 03 (5 delegates). The assemblies for these offices will be held virtually, date/time tbd.
Finally, delegates will vote for their preferred candidate for US Senate. Candidates who receive at least 15% of the votes will be eligible to receive a proportional number of Montezuma County's 5 delegates to attend (or send a proxy to) the State Assembly to be held in person in Pueblo on March 28th.
