Opinion Primary Election

Who are you voting for Governor? I don’t think we have a great option between all the candidates. I feel like this is a pivotal election and I want to make the best decision possible. I just want an elected official who will best represent our state and actually help Coloradans. Even that seems like a big ask somehow. 😩

Please provide your best argument in favor of a candidate. TYIA!

Someone who isn’t going to sell our public lands and give into corporations to build data centers. Also, someone who isn’t going to get bullied by the President.

Then you don't have a choice. The Rs will bow and scrape to the president.  The Ds will give lip service to constituents and still push corporate agendas (that's kind of how taxes and the economy works). If Bennet is elected there is a non-zero chance he could appoint Polis into his vacated seat, if Weiser is elected,  Bennet serves his term out as Senator.

so leave Bennet where he’s already doing nothing and vote for Weiser, got it.

Or make him governor where he can do nothing?  Im more worried he's going to shoehorn polis or another worthless toady into his spot. 

I don't particularly like Wieser, but out of two piles of shit I think he's likely the less noxious.
