Progressive Dems Tout Involvement in Party

Check out an article in the 5/5/05 edition of the Taos News that focuses on a report from Charlotte Roybal about the recent Democratic Party State Central Committee meeting. It discusses how progressives are joining together in New Mexico and working with like-minded folks within the Democratic Party to have a voice, a vote on resolutions and the Party platform and, eventually, the candidates who run for office.

Preliminary discussions about forming a Progressive Caucus took place after the Democratic Party State Central Committee meeting in Socorro last month with representatives from many communities around the state. Next up will be a steering committee meeting where those interested in creating a caucus can take the project one step further.
