The Boulder County Democratic Party maintains strict neutrality for all registered Democratic candidates in contested Primaries and will avoid any appearance of favoritism. All officially filed candidates, who agree to participate in the BCDP caucus/assembly/convention process, shall be treated equally until the conclusion of the nominating assembly/convention. All candidates, who are eligible for the primary ballot, shall be treated equally from after the assembly/convention until the nomination process is completed (or in the case of an uncontested primary, after the primary election’s filing deadline). Only the Party’s official candidate will be provided further assistance.
