Introducing: The New Blue Wave

[Message from Denver Supinger]

As you may have seen, I am running to represent the 11th Congressional District Democratic Committee with a team full of diverse, action-forward, individuals. I am reaching out today to ask for your support of our team!

If you are ready for change in the 11th Congressional District, and for transparency and transformation in DPVA, I kindly ask you as an 11th CD Delegate here ([link removed]) . Registering as a Delegate (not caucus member) will enable you to vote for your next team of leaders in the 11th on March 5th.

Please be sure to register as a Delegate by the 12th of February! ([link removed]) Please let me know when you have filed so we can check you off our list! :) If you have any questions about the process, please reach out!

I thank you for your time.

In solidarity,
