Democrats May Still Have Primary in HD-13

From the Colorado Daily:

Jim Rettew, a Democrat running for the state House District 13 seat in 2006, has decided to petition in an attempt to get on the August primary ballot.

Rettew lost to fellow Democrat Claire Levy in last Saturday’s HD 13 assembly by roughly 71 to 29 percent, with 107 delegates voting. Assembly participants must earn at least 30 percent of delegate votes to automatically qualify for the next contests, and Rettew missed 30 percent by two votes.

Rettew said he decided to continue in part because Saturday’s delegate totals are only a small fraction of eligible HD 13 voters, and any registered Democrat from the district can vote in the primary.
