Off on the road again to the Northeast for Yuma. Traveling with the Udall campaign field organizer and the head of the House Majority Project, we left this morning to meet up with some 30 members of the Yuma County Democratic Party. Dr. Tom Parks is the Chair, and the picnic followed onto a big parade in Yuma. We were treated to some really good chicken, salads and barbeque. And then a variety of desserts were tempting us as we enjoyed a mild summer day.

I had a chance then to talk to the group about state party activities, upcoming races in the state, and volunteer opportunities for next year’s national convention. Don made a pitch for finding a house district candidate in the area, and Joy gave a plug for the Udall Senate campaign. Also on hand were Mac McGraw, Sen. Salazar’s representative for the region and Betsy Markey, candidate of CD4.

It was a great gathering. I especially enjoyed meeting many of the precinct chairs for Yuma County. Past Chair, Charles Pfalmer, was there, and Dean Wingfield, Yuma County Commissioner. We deeply appreciate all the hard work being done in the county.
