Education Forum Participants and Anyone Interested in Education
--Meeting with Governor Ritter

Our Education Friend and Representative Tom Massey has invited Governor Ritter to meet with citizens at 4:15 PM April 11th at the Salida Middle School to discuss rural educational issues and future challenges with members of the community who are supporters of our schools.

Superintendents of Cotopaxi, Buena Vista and Salida will discuss local issues with the governor and time will be available for questions and answers.

Please make plans to attend this important meeting and encourage your friends, neighbors and family to also attend. We need to let our Governor know that the Chaffee County residents are interested and concerned about the education of the children in our public schools.

Your presence at this meeting will also demonstrate your support of the efforts already made through the Rural Education Forums held in August and October right here in Chaffee County.

Let’s fill the room and send a clear message that rural Coloradoans need recognition and financial assistance from the state level in order to provide equitable educational opportunities for our children.

Ritter's Other Salida Stops
Governor Ritter will also stop at the SteamPlant, Hospital, and Arkansas headwaters Recreation Area on Friday afternoon.

County Commissioner Candidates Need Your Help

Democrats are fortunate to have two talented and committed candidates for commissioner who are ready for the challenge of the upcoming campaign. They value your support. If you can help by making a contribution please send your check to:

Committee to Elect Susan Bristol
c/o Don Breece
113 Trenton
Buena Vista, CO 81211

Jerry Mallett for Commissioner
P.O. Box 537

Some of our opponents’ contributors have deep pockets. One way we can offset that is by having more individuals contribute. Jerry and Susan appreciate any amount you feel you can contribute.

A few tips to keep us in compliance with election finance rules:

  • Include your address with each contribution
