Colorado State Assembly
On March 28, delegates from across Colorado gathered in Pueblo to vote for the candidates they wanted to see on the Democratic primary ballot. After county assemblies, straw polls showed Amanda in the lead by 23 points. At state assembly, she earned 63% of the votes, stretching her lead to 37 points! Thank you to all the delegates who showed up for Amanda and for democracy!
Day of Details
1,500 delegates gather in Pueblo to hear from candidates and vote to decide who makes the Democratic primary ballot.
If a candidate earns more than 30% of the vote they’re on the ballot. If they get more than 70% of the vote, they will be the only person to make the ballot via assembly. (Some will get on the ballot via petitions.)

A delegate is someone who represents their neighborhood at a county and/or state assembly. In practice, being named a Democratic Party delegate means you get to vote on which candidates appear on the Democratic primary ballot. There are different levels: county assembly delegates vote on county-level candidates, and state assembly delegates vote on state-level candidates. To become a county assembly delegate, you have to attend your precinct caucus. To become a state assembly delegate, you first have to be elected as a county assembly delegate.
