Hickenlooper has been decent but we need a good Dem to keep working the agenda.

Our right wing crazies are just as bad as any. If we give them an inch, they’ll take a mile.

Did everyone with interesting last names move to Colorado?

So how about this guy Perlmutter? He looks pretty good to me per this:

He’s a member of the House Science, Space and Technology and Financial Services committees and has sought to allow cash-only marijuana firms access to the banking system.

I don’t know Colorado politics but interested in keeping up around the country the best I can.

This is interesting to me:

His district, which incorporates Denver’s western and northern suburbs, was once solidly Republican but is now considered a bellwether on how Colorado votes — a place where independent voters outnumber both Democrats and Republicans.

Better hope 2018 is a wave.

Wish that I could help but I’ve barely ever even heard his name.
I have the same impressions as you.

We all need to take a good look and back him if worthy. Colorado is a fairly strong Democratic force and only needs to get better.

His stands sort of wander…from left to right …
Not extreme, though ---- But I wouldn’t call him a ’ moderate ’ —

More…’ reasonable ’ …on things …

A breath of fresh air in politics…actually — And I would not have any problem voting for him —

Waiting to see who all is going to jump to fill his void …however —
