DMEA Election 2024

Would you prefer to read this in Spanish?

If you’re reading this, you can continue to save on energy costs thanks to DMEA’s strong leadership!

As a member-owner of Delta Montrose Electric Association (DMEA), you have the power to vote for board members who prioritize cheaper, locally-sourced energy. Voting begins on May 3 and ends with the election on June 6. 

In much of Colorado, big out-of-state companies call the shots on energy and Coloradans have little say in how it’s sourced, managed, or priced. But we have the freedom to vote for candidates who will keep our costs low and support producing clean energy right here at home.

The importance of the elections cannot be overstated, which is why Western Colorado Alliance is teaming up with passionate members of our communities to encourage co-op member-owners like you to vote in this year’s election.

Will you commit to voting in DMEA’s election between May 3 and June 6 and help continue to create cheaper, locally-produced energy that benefits everyone?

Sign up to stay updated on how we can build a healthy, just and self-reliant Western Colorado.
