Colorado Democratic Party Celebrates Women's Summit

Brings together Democratic Women from Across the State

DENVER – The Colorado Democratic Party today celebrated women in elected office and active in the state party at the Colorado Democratic Women's Summit held in downtown Denver. The summit program featured a variety of panel discussions on Democratic leadership opportunities for young women, in the Colorado General Assembly, and in statewide positions.

Melissa Hart, CU Regent At-Large candidate stated, "Being one of two women in a statewide race, it is critical that we include more women in the political process in Colorado."

Women from across Colorado participated in the event and shared their stories including State Treasurer Cary Kennedy, Lt. Governor Barbara O'Brien and many others.

“We had a great afternoon, empowering women to take active leadership roles not just in our party but throughout the state,” said Colorado Democratic Party Chair Pat Waak.

The afternoon summit culminated with a reception with U.S. Representative Wasserman Schultz and U.S. Congresswoman Diana DeGette.

"The participation of women in the political process is critical," said State Treasurer Cary Kennedy.  "Women and their families are affected by the policies determined at every level of government."
