Sen. Dominick Moreno Jumps Into CD-7 Race

Sen. Dominick Moreno.

The Denver Post’s John Frank reports, three Democratic state lawmakers are now in the hunt to succeed outgoing Rep. Ed Perlmutter in swing suburban CD-7:

Sen. Dominick Moreno of Commerce City will announce his candidacy Wednesday for the 7th Congressional District post being vacated by U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, who is running for governor in 2018.

He joins fellow state Sen. Andy Kerr and state Rep. Brittany Pettersen, both of Lakewood, in the contest.

Moreno, 32, is touting his legislative record as what sets him apart — noting the bills he carried to require breakfast for students at low-income schools in Colorado and his work this year in crafting a $26.8 billion state spending plan as a member of the powerful budget committee.

“I think I bring the strongest record for actually getting things done, and that goes for the Democrats and the Republicans,” he said in an interview ahead of the announcement.

Sen. Dominick Moreno of Commerce City is a well-loved and respected progressive legislator, and the only one of the three contenders in the ÇD-7 primary to hail from Adams County. Moreno has nothing to lose by running for Congress in 2018, being an off-year for his Senate seat, so he can make the attempt without giving up his current office. Whatever the outcome, this race is a great chance to Moreno to build his name recognition for future upward mobility. And who knows? In a wide-open race, he might even go all the way.

Anybody else want in the CD-7 primary? The water appears to be fine.
