Little Colorado River Democrats
The LCRD's are looking forward to the coming election year and getting our Democratic candidates elected!

There is much work to do: getting out our message, getting petitions signed, collecting clean election contributions, registering voters, signing voters up for the Permanent Early Voter List, and getting voters to polls!

We will also continue with our monthly Winslow Adopt a Street cleanup and plan for our annual fundraiser.
