It's Never Too Early to Start Thinking about November!
I know, I know. The legislature isn't officially over until tomorrow, but it's never too early to start thinking about the November elections. Coloradans will be voting on the following:
Governor & Lt. Governor
Senator
Secretary of State
State Treasurer
Attorney General
All 7 Congressional District (House of Representatives) seats also are up for re-election
In addition, with our General Assembly term limits, there are 13 open seats (out of 65) in the House and 7 open seats (out of 19) in the Senate. The Senate is comprised of 35 members, though 16 of those Senators are not term limited or up for re-election until 2012. As spring turns to summer, I will be posting more information about some of the competetive districts and in particular any of the hotly contested rural districts.
While there are always politics occuring at the legislature and I've witnessed some of the most contentious, polarizing discussions under the Gold Dome; I'm afraid the real politics are yet to begin!
