First Families of Colorado Politics

Our friends at “The Fix” have a fun item up about the “first families of politics” in each state. Here’s what they came up with for Colorado:

The Salazars: Former Gov. Sen. [corrected–Pols] (and current Interior Secretary) Ken Salazar (D) is the younger brother of Rep. John Salazar (D).

The Romers: Former Gov. Roy Romer’s (D) son, state Sen. Chris Romer (D), is running for mayor of Denver.

The Udalls: Sen. Mark Udall (D) is the cousin of New Mexico’s junior senator, Tom. Both of their fathers, Mo and Stewart, were involved in politics — Stewart, most prominently, as Secretary of the Interior, Mo as a Congressman from Arizona

Who else would you add to the list? Who would be the first family on the Republican side of things?

*Side note: It’s interesting to see that “The Fix” unequivocally declares Sen. Chris Romer as a candidate for Denver Mayor. Not that we disagree, but Romer hasn’t made that announcement himself just yet.
