      His platform is very lackluster. He’s basically running on not being her. :-/

        Interesting … because let’s be honest, that’s pretty much enough reason for most people to vote for him

        When your opponent is making a series of bad decisions, that is enough. People really are sick and tired of the blatant BS.

            I’m reading the document provided by killeeronthecorner. This is what I see:

            • He will fight for Western Colorado water rights.
            • He will push for an ‘all of the above’ energy plan which likely includes solar, wind, hydro, nuclear, and petrochemical.
            • He will push for farmer-friendly policies, which ties to the above plus opposing ‘bad’ regulations and opening markets.
            • He will take actions in support of small businesses.
            • Opposing ‘bad’ regulations, again.
            • Job Training.
            • Upgrade (presumably power and internet) infrastructure
            • He will tackle inflation (albeit without a good plan on how to deal with the current causes of inflation…)
            • He is pro-choice.
            • He is pro-environmentalism.

            He’s definitely a blue-dog Democrat, more conservative than I’d like, but this is CO-03 we’re talking about. You’re NOT going to get a progressive firebrand to represent that district. You’re going to get somebody who is on the Conservative end of the spectrum. Getting a Pro-Choice Moderate Democrat who is in any way open to Green policies in the district that includes Farmers and Oil Men and places like Rifle would be a godsend, considering the person who CURRENTLY represents CO-03 is rabidly anti-choice and quite interested in pushing radical MAGA policies. You get what you can take out of a place like CO-03.

              I mean, I think we’re too late to prevent global environmental catastrophe, but we should try hard. Otoh, I understand you.
