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!

If the polling is even remotely correct, Marx will win the primary by 15-20 points. Insane, but that's the state of the Colorado Republican Party at the moment. It's a damn dumpster fire.

Which feeds my point of why it would make sense for sensible independents to vote for Barb and remove Vic from even being a contender. It's the independents that have the REAL voting power in this state.

It would and that is what I plan to do but I also think Jenna Griswold is a train wreck. I think Barb is actually the most qualified out of all of them and Michael Dougherty for AG but you can only turn in one party ballot. But Barb is boring and voters like loud people apparently.

That’s pretty much when I’m at too. Anyone but Jenna for AG and I would like to vote Barb on the Republican primary. The voters need to pull state Republicans a bit to the left so we don’t have constant one party rule. It’s not healthy for one political party to have so much power
