As we discussed before, by RNC bylaws, Colorado sends a number of Delegates (and Alternate Delegates) to the National Convention where the party will choose a Presidential candidate, set elements of the party platform, and conduct other business. The Delegates are voting members of this body, while the Alternates are moved up to Delegate status, should some Delegate not be able to attend.
On April 13 and 14, there were a number of assemblies held. In addition to other business, these assemblies are held to determine who the delegates to the National Convention will be. These assemblies are in turn composed of delegates who were voted upon at county and/or state house district meetings.
Colorado will be represented at the National Convention by delegates in the following numbers:
- One Committeewoman
- One Committeeman
- One Chair
- Three Delegates chosen at each of Colorado’s seven US Congressional House Districts (CD), for a total of 21
- Twelve Delegates at large chosen by the entire state delegation
In addition to the delegates, there were an equal number of alternates elected at the CD (21) and State at large (12) level.
The delegates elected are as follows:
National Committeewoman
Lilly Nunez
National Committeeman
Mike Kopp
