In a desperate attempt to influence the Democratic primary election in State Senate District 20, a group calling itself “Colorado Alliance for Working Families” unfairly took aim at Fmr. State Rep. Cheri Jahn for votes she cast during her time in the State House.
Ballots for the 2010 Democratic primary election will be mailed to all eligible voters beginning July 19th.
Ballots must arrive back to the Clerk's office by 7pm on August 10th. Having a ballot postmarked August 10th is too late.
I hope to see you at the precinct caucuses tonight. This is the opportunity to have your voice and opinions heard at the grassroots level. In 2008, we had a huge turnout in the caucuses. The issues facing our state and nation have not diminished since then--we need all hands on deck in order to move forward. I hope I can count on you.
As the caucus on March 16th approaches, citizens and organizations around the district have been generous enough to host events, and I want you to join us. Come for light refreshments as we talk about what we can do together to move Colorado forward.
I am honored to receive the endorsement of Senator Moe Keller to succeed her as the next Senator from District 20 in the Colorado General Assembly.

I started to celebrate that there might actually be an advancement of a health care bill in Congress until I realized that Speaker Pelosi had allowed the egregious Eshoo/Barton amendment to stay in the House version of the bill. Once again we get verbal support on an issue as important as health care reform but no guts to stand up and really do the right thing for those who need it the most!
In 2006 Colorado passed a controversial ballot measure that tied minimum wage to the state's Consumer Price Index. At the time, I was in the Colorado State House of Representatives as the Speaker ProTem and I opposed putting this initiative into the Constitution. I had many conversations with people asking them not to legislate through the Constitution — had we not yet learned our lesson about yet passing policy through Constitutional amendments?
I'm excited to announce that Former Speaker of the House Andrew Romanoff and Congressman Ed Perlmutter are endorsing me in my run for State Senate, and I want you there with us as we kick off this campaign.
