DENVER– The Colorado Democratic Party announced today that the meeting of the CD4 Special Convention to select its nominee for the June 25, 2024, Special Election will be held on April 1, 2024, at 5:30pm. The rules and function of the Special Convention are outlined on the Colorado Democratic Party’s website at this link.


The CD4 Special Convention will be held virtually over Zoom and streamed live for the public on YouTube. CD4 has 21 counties within it, and the virtual option helps people save time and money on travel, gas costs, child care, and also helps people avoid having to take time off of work to participate in this important process. 


CDP welcomes  recommendations for questions to ask of the candidates during the forum portion of the meeting by 5pm on March 31, 2024. Questions can be submitted here.


“Eastern Colorado deserves to have strong representation in Congress, something it’s suffered a drought of during Ken Buck’s tenure. Buck, an architect of the extremist wing of the Republican Party, has spent most of his career planning his next Sunday show appearance rather than getting things done. This is an opportunity for a fresh start and the state will be better off for it,” said Shad Murib, Chair, Colorado Democratic Party. 


“We believe in making sure the economy is fair for everyone, not just folks on the Front Range. For too long, Ken Buck and the Republican Party have catered more to what the Washington D.C. power brokers want all while leaving our farmers, ranchers, and teachers behind and voiceless. We look forward to giving voters a real choice not just in this Special Election but also in November,” said Lisa Chollet, CD4 Chair, Colorado Democratic Party.
