On Tuesday, June 30, the Colorado state primaries for Governor and other state offices will take place.
The Democratic Party has two exceptional candidates for Governor in the upcoming Colorado Gubernatorial election, an embarrassment of riches not often seen.
We have Senator Michael Bennet, who has served with distinction in the US Senate since 2009, and we have State Attorney General Phil Weiser, who has served with distinction since 2019 in that post.
The good thing is IF Bennet loses the primary, he can continue in his Senate term, which does not expire until the end of 2028.
Having watched the recent Democratic Gubernatorial debate on C Span, this author and blogger came away impressed tremendously with both candidates.
So whoever ends up as the nominee, will bring distinction to the Governorship, succeeding Jared Polis.
The Democrats are heavily favored to keep the Governorship, as well as reelect Senator John Hickenlooper to a second term in the US Senate.
