DNC Awards Grant to Colorado State Democratic Party to Boost Down-Ballot Races, Strengthen Meaningful Outreach to Coloradans

June 10, 2024

Today, leveraging its historic fundraising, the Democratic National Committee announced that the Colorado State Democratic Party will receive new targeted investments to strengthen its coordinated campaign and boost Democratic wins in down-ballot races. 

This new funding is part of the DNC’s significant, ongoing investments in state parties since President Biden took office and Jaime Harrison became Chair of the DNC. Under President Biden and Chair Harrison’s leadership, the DNC has increased its yearly investment in state parties by 25 percent and delivered the largest-ever investment in state parties from the DNC cycle to date. On top of previous investments, today’s announced investment in Colorado is tailored to meet the state party’s unique needs.

Colorado: Colorado is a rapidly growing state and one of the youngest in the country. With many young people reaching voting age for the first time, the DNC invested six-figures for campus organizing programming across the state. These efforts will solidify Democrats’ status in the state for years to come. In total, the DNC has invested upwards of $470k this cycle thus far in the state. 

“The DNC is committed to re-electing President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, and, as President Biden has made clear since his inauguration — Democrats must also win up and down the ballot and strengthen organizing across all 50 states,” said DNC Chair Jaime Harrison. “Today’s announced investment in the Colorado State Democratic Party shows that priority in action. Colorado Democrats have fought tirelessly to better the lives of Colorado and defend against Trump and Republicans’ extreme agenda to rip away Americans’ most fundamental rights. With record-breaking fundraising under President Biden and a winning agenda Americans’ overwhelmingly support, the DNC and Democratic state parties across the country have the momentum to strengthen coordinated operations to deliver wins for Democrats and all Coloradans.”

"The Colorado Democratic Party is thrilled to receive this grant from the Democratic “National Committee,” said Colorado Democratic Party Chair Shad Murib. “Colorado is one of the youngest states in the country, and we know the value of meeting our young voters where they are. We're determined to do what it takes to ensure that Colorado remains a Democratic stronghold for years to come and re-elect President Biden, Vice President Harris, and our Democrats down the ballot so that they can keep delivering for Coloradans.”
