Pat Schroeder's endorsement of Polis goes a long way with me. He's my Congressman and I like him, but I was determined to vote female this year and Cary Kennedy is a good candidate.

My husband's voting for Kennedy.

I apologize for being so pragmatic, but I surely don't want a Republican.

Colorado can go either way and that scares me too. Honestly, I think Polis can win over Kennedy, and I'd think he'd be a fine governor. Their positions are pretty identical, so it does come down to personality. I've met Polis a few times at county Democratic meetings and town halls. He's very personable and likeable. I've seen him impress a few of our local rednecks, not that that would translate to votes.

Stapleton would be a nightmare. I hate how he brags about stopping single payer and supporting dipshit's tax cuts. He's a trumper through and through.

In 1998, the vote was nearly 50-50 and Bill Owens became guv. That was a disaster for higher ed.
Gail Schoettler was the Democratic candidate

Imagine how it would be today: the Republican party is basically insane, yet they vote! A republican is unacceptable. Putin may bet his dream--an completely divided America.

Democrats have
Mike Johnston
Cary Kennedy,
Donna Lynne, and
Jared Polis

All are fine people. I think the discredited TV ad for Cary Kennedy was run by another organization. We have until June 26 to decide.

WE have to put one of these great Dems in as Governor--HAVE TO!

Just agree with him more.

Her tenure as state treasurer set a high standard that was emulated around the country. She'd likely be every bit as effective as governor. And I would have no problem with Polis as her lieutenant.


.

A genuinely nice person, very smart and very liberal. I highly recommend her. I've since moved out of state, so I can't vote for her, but I sent her a contribution.

then vote for Polis. He is the 10th richest congressman and will use his own wealth to outspend everyone.

But if you want someone who really deserves to be governor and has the overwhelming support of grassroots Democrats, then vote for Kennedy.

Not only did she break her promise to run a clean campaign which Polis and Johnston have stuck to, she and her PAC have put out ads that fail fact checking.

Link to a CBS Denver segment where they fact checked her ad and it isn't pretty. Including a part in her ad where she denounced Johnston for a bill that the committee she co-chaired issued a report in support of.

I was really hoping for female nominee but she let me down. Polis got my vote.

which elected some very good federal reps, governors, state reps but none who worked harder for all their constituents or cared more about the Democratic liberal progressive policies I believe in than Jared Polis. I do not know if he can win statewide as we still have so many Trumpites in CO but I'm certain he will be a governor we can be proud of if elected.

HAvent lived there in decades and person addressed me by the wrong name. Website says he’s a Dem. Doesn’t appear to have support here. What’s the scoop on him?
