John Wren resigns as a Democrat

My long time friend John Wren  resigned from the Democratic Party yesterday after being unfairly attacked in the Statesman for questioning why a district meeting in December would be canceled for what Cindy Lowery termed “community service” the month before. This community service turned out to be a fundraiser for Speaker Romanoff at the same time and place as the district meeting. It seems this circumvention of state party rules is clearly a violation and only a legally semantic argument could be made to defend this as not a formal endorsement of party officers acting in an official capacity

John’s resigning I find sad. The issue and complaint will be swept under the rug.

It should be noted that he had not, and has not endorsed Sen.Bennet at this point in time.

He was arguing for the process to be fair.

It’s unfortunate that Denver county seems to function in the same pattern that I observed when the Mayor’s name was Bill  McNichols.
