The Executive Committee has been diligently working to update the party Constitution and has arrived at a proposed revision posted here (and elsewhere on the website). The Constitution will be discussed and voted on at the May 2026 membership meeting. Please do your best to review ahead of time so that the discussion can be as productive as possible.

Our volunteer spotlight for May falls on Bill Lubing. Busy with the CoCo Dems Update blog and other activities, you’ll usually see him with a camera in one hand and one of Mary Ellen’s brownies in the other.
