Colorado governor's race: Kennedy endorsed by Salazar; Schroeder backs Polis

DENVER – Two of Colorado’s Democratic candidates for governor picked up big endorsements Tuesday from former members of Congress from the state, and another candidate showed off her new tattoo.

Cary Kennedy won the endorsement of former U.S. senator and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar Tuesday morning, while former U.S. Rep. Pat Schroeder endorsed Jared Polis in the race.

The Kennedy campaign made the announcement it had picked up Salazar’s endorsement Tuesday morning at its headquarters.

"Cary Kennedy is the best person to lead Colorado in the years ahead. She has a vision to protect our land, water and people,” Salazar said. “It’s time for Colorado to elect a woman governor. My mother and grandmother, daughters and granddaughters, and millions of women in our state have waited long enough.”
