What is the Caucus and Why Does It Matter?

The Colorado Caucus is one way for candidates to qualify for the June primary ballot. Through a series of precinct, county, and congressional caucus and assembly meetings, Democratic voters choose which candidates they want to advance to the primary ballot. This multi-stage process is so important because it gives ordinary Democrats direct influence over which candidates appear on the June primary ballot, though candidates may also qualify by petition outside this route.

Participation in the caucus and assembly process requires being a registered Democrat by February 13th, 2026, as well as a resident of the relevant precinct. By caucusing for Manny, you can help elect a leader who will stand up for working families, defend our freedoms, and bring a strong, results-driven voice to CO-08.
