RELEASE: Colorado Democratic Party Endorses Vice President Kamala Harris
DENVER – Today, the Colorado Democratic Party overwhelmingly voted to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for president, winning over 95% of the State Central Committee’s voting members’ support for her candidacy, and 95% of Colorado’s delegates to the Democratic National Convention pledging to support her nomination.
Over 300 delegates and State Central Committee members gathered yesterday evening to share their hopes, dreams, and optimism for the future of our state and our country. Story after story made it clear that Vice President Kamala Harris has inspired Coloradans of all backgrounds to roll up their sleeves and fight for their country.
“Colorado Democrats are united, fired up, and ready to deliver our state for Vice President Kamala Harris,” said Shad Murib, Colorado Democratic Party Chair. “Already, Vice President Harris has won endorsements from our entire federal delegation and statewide Democrats, as well as elected Democrats at all levels, including grassroots leaders and activists across the state. There’s no one better prepared to prosecute the case against convicted felon Donald Trump than Vice President Harris, and our endorsement makes it clear that Colorado Democrats are ready to elect her this fall.”
"As a proud member of the AAPI community, I wholeheartedly endorse Kamala Harris for President. Her unwavering commitment to justice, equality, and inclusive leadership resonates deeply with me and our community,” said Indira Duggirala, Colorado Democratic Party 1st Vice Chair. “Vice President Harris’s vision for America aligns with our values, and I am confident she will lead us towards a brighter, more unified future."
"I am proud to endorse Kamala Harris for President. Her extensive experience, integrity, and dedication to public service make her the leader our country needs. Kamala's ability to tackle the most pressing issues with compassion and tenacity is exactly what we need to move America forward,” said Scott Mangino, Colorado Democratic Party 2nd Vice Chair. “I look forward to supporting Harris as she prosecutes the case against convicted felon Donald Trump this fall."
Following President Biden’s announcement that he would be withdrawing from the 2024 race, the Colorado Democratic Party released the following statement on July 21, 2024:“President Biden’s decision to step out of this race is a stunning act of courage and patriotism that is all too lacking in American politics these days. President Biden's decades of service have made this country better off, and he has been a friend of Colorado, creating hundreds of thousands of new jobs, designating Camp Hale as national monument, keeping Space Command in Colorado Springs, and cutting the cost of living for working people. From his time as Senator to being the most effective President in modern history, our country has seen tremendous growth and success as a result of his leadership. On behalf of the entire Colorado Democratic Party, we express our enormous gratitude to President Biden,” said Shad Murib, Colorado Democratic Party Chair.
