Thank you!
On Saturday, March 10, at the HD-52 assembly at Fossil Ridge High School, our campaign experienced a major victory. Over 90% of the assembly delegates voted to nominate me to the Democratic primary ballot. I am honored to have earned the confidence and support of so many of my fellow Democrats.
It is an honor to be your Democratic nominee. A special thank you to State Rep. John Kefalas for his service and his support, and to Poudre School Board Director Nancy Tellez for her seconding my nomination. I am especially grateful to State Rep. Randy Fischer for his support, guidance, and leadership. I promise to follow in these leaders' footsteps and build the strong, grassroots campaign we need to run in order to win in November. The Democrats who came out and spent their Saturday helping their party deserve a special thanks. Their involvement in the process is a critical part of what makes our democracy strong.
As your next state representative, I will work tirelessy; for good paying Colorado jobs, education funding, affordable and accessible health care, and a clean and safe environment. Let’s keep this community great, and make sure all Coloradans are getting the government they deserve – one that is open, accountable, and protects the quality of life that makes Colorado such a great place to live.
I will need your help to win in November. Please click here to help our campaign build a strong war chest for the General Election! Thank you again. This has been an incredible day.

Democrat Joann Ginal to Seek HD-52 Seat
Long-time Fort Collins resident Joann Ginal announced her candidacy to represent State House District 52. She will seek the Democratic nomination for the November 2012 ballot and promises to take her passion for public service to the State Capitol to serve Fort Collins and help all Coloradans.
“For years, I have worked to help make Fort Collins a better place to live,” said Ginal. “I am determined to help our community and our state by making state government more responsive to the tough issues that face all Coloradans.”
State Representative Randy Fischer and City Councilmember Lisa Poppaw are among local leaders supporting Ginal’s candidacy.
“Joann Ginal has my full support,” said State Rep. Randy Fischer (D-Fort Collins). “Joann’s service to our community shows she has the dedication and leadership skills Fort Collins needs at the State House.”
“I have worked closely with Joann for many years on the Fort Collins Human Relations Commission,” said Fort Collins Councilmember Lisa Poppaw. “I have seen firsthand her passion for making our community a better place and her ability to lead on important issues, making a difference in individuals’ lives.”
Ginal has worked in the biological and medical fields for more than 20 years as a teacher, researcher and most recently as a medical science liaison in medical affairs. Ginal earned a Ph.D. in Reproductive Endocrinology from Colorado State University in 1997. She has a B.S. in Biology from the University of New Hampshire and a Masters degree in Zoology from Iowa State University.
“I believe that a college education should be accessible for all Coloradans,” said Ginal, “and strong support for education is critical if we are going to rebuild an economy where every Coloradan has the opportunity to succeed.”
Current HD-52 Rep. John Kefalas is seeking the Senate District 14 seat, in which current State Senator Bob Bacon is term-limited.
