I was a delegate to yesterday's Boulder County Democratic Party caucus in Boulder.

One sobering thing about the caucus yesterday was that nearly every delegate was elderly. I hope we can get the middle-aged and young out to vote this fall for Democratic candidates. We did send delegates supporting some younger, somewhat fresh faces to the state convention in Pueblo March 28. I declined to be a delegate to state because I would rather stand in the No Kings protest the same day.

My current State House representative, who is running again, unopposed, looks like he graduated from high school last spring.

different training sessions and there are lots (40-50 people) at each one. Out of all those trainees, only hand small handful were even under 40 and most were closer to my age (60-80).
