Former Sen. Steve Johnson Looks at CD-4

Former State Senator and current Larimer County Commissioner Steve Johnson is considering a bid for congress in CD-4. This according to the formatting-averse website Loveland Politics, which also seems to think Ken Buck is running for Attorney General (it’s U.S. Senate, friends, but close enough).

Johnson was obviously pining for a potential challenge to Rep. Betsy Markey when he did some budget grandstanding a few months back. Johnson was always considered a moderate Republican who played well with others, and while that could make him a tough opponent for Markey, it also makes it tough for him to get out of a primary.
