A letter from the New Delta County Democrats Chair
Hello and welcome to the Delta County Democrats Website!

I’ve been a proud democrat my whole life. I grew up in a family that placed public service and civic responsibility at the highest levels of importance. Delta County is a place that I have called home since my parents moved here from Chaffee County in 1973. I grew up here, left to get a degree at CSU, started a family in the San Luis Valley, and moved back here to raise my children who are now grown and off on their own adventures. I am honored to be able to put my shoulder to the wheel and do my part to build a strong presence for the party here.

We have an entirely new leadership team for the Democratic Party in Delta County. Our thanks go out to those who kept the flames burning during the last election cycle and now our sights are focused on preparing the ground for the midterm election in 2022.

We are in the midst of getting our donkeys in a row for the basic governance responsibilities we have at the moment. Once that is handled we will be saddling up for our mission to reach out to you, inspire your participation, and build some powerful mojo so that we can support our democratic candidates running in 2022 and turn out the biggest vote ever for Delta Democrats.

The key tasks we will be working hard to accomplish will be: to build up participation, engage new people, strengthen our partnership with the state party leadership team, reach out to our neighboring democratic party leaders. Our team is gearing up to launch regular and compelling communication that helps you stay informed and lights your fire for moving the dial for democratic values in Delta County. Our Delta Dems Scholarships to local high school students are already back in action.

So much is at stake in the midterm election and so much is in place with the American Recovery Act that can transform our country. Maintaining forward momentum and gaining greater local representation are two goals that I have as county leader of the party.
​
Reorganization requires attention to a number of details and so I am asking for your patience as we fire up social media, create a new presence on the web, and solidify a winning strategy for accomplishing the work that lies ahead. Thanks in advance for your understanding. We won’t keep you waiting long!

It has been said that a dream without a plan is a wish. I hope you will join me in putting a plan in place so that we can look behind us and say we’ve done some great work and look ahead of us and say that the future looks brighter. All politics is local.

Please reach out. I’d love to hear from you. skane.dcd@gmail.com​
