Democrats on Thursday released names of the 12 at-large delegates for the Democratic National Convention, rounding out the list of 70 Coloradans for the Aug. 25-28 gathering in Denver.
The delegation of citizens, activists and elected officials includes nine alternates.
State party chairwoman Pat Waak, while noting that heavy interest in serving as a delegate created a big workload, said overall it had been a “great process.”
“I think it marks the enthusiasm again of the voters in this state for this particular race,” Waak said. “We have seen it from the very beginning — starting Feb. 5 — and it has followed us through the entire process.”
