Keep Bennet in the Senate
The Democratic primary for governor is between Sen. Michael Bennet and Atty. Gen. Phil Weiser.
With the correct choice, it is a win-win situation for Colorado.
Both Sen. Bennet and Atty. Gen. Weiser have served well in their current positions. Both are highly qualified, and neither has previously served as governor. Yet the choice should be clear. We need to keep Sen. Bennet to continue fighting for us in the United States Senate.
After 17 years in Washington, he has developed relationships, knowledge, and experience that cannot be replaced. No other person in Colorado can step into the Senate with that same level of seniority and expertise.
In addition, he has two more years remaining on his current six-year term. If elected governor, he would appoint his own successor, depriving Colorado voters of his own 17-years of expertise in the Washington environment.
As a result, between the two equally qualified candidates, a vote for the Democratic nominee for governor is easy. It should be for Phil Weiser.

I’m voting wisely for Weisser!
Colorado has enough Socialism as it is. Remove both of these “representatives” as soon as possible.
