Delegates for Colorado
I am not sure where you get a rich mix of backgrounds. Unless you are referring to all of the Congressional Districts as a whole. I was at CD2 and everyone chosen with the exception of alternate was from Boulder County. Also, with the exception of one, they were all Caucausian.
Some from Boulder who withdrew their nomination from the convention, pulled a fast one and endorsed the other 4 "chosen". This left counties such as Eagle and Gilpin and many others out in the cold. I saw no diversity at all. If I wasn't disenfranchised before, I certainly am now. I was very disappointed to see no representation from the other counties. The way that some from Boulder handled it was very poor and elitist.
