Or more to the point, where is his voter registration listed? Since he sold his house last summer, he may not still have the residency requirement.
Of course, this all assume Romanoff would even want to seek the appointment, which we kind of doubt.
Good point that he might not live in the district any more.
I just think that, despite the primary fiasco, the GA with Romanoff isn’t exactly the worst thing in the world. Especially if results hold in the House.
But yeah, probably not.
Registered there too. For whatever that’s worth. I agree that it doesn’t matter because he’s not gonna do it.
As is Owen Perkins and a couple others.
and Jeff Hart.
There are a couple of forums coming up for people interested in running for the seat over the next couple of weeks. We should see who the serious candidates are in those.
Seems to me that this one will be highly contested. It bothers me that Romer didn’t let SD-32 voters choose his successor.
He has chaired the district for a few years now and proved very capable and impartial during a ver contentious assembly in 2006.
Romer resigning, and McCann seeking the appointment.
She ended up voting for the bill, but not until it had been completely gutted. That puts her in blue dog territory as far as I’m concerned.
he might actually win the mayoral race DD. I shudder at the thought.
Am I the only one who questions this generational political family stuff? From the Kennedys to the Bushes on the national stage to the Romers here at home, what other than a name and lots and lots of money gives these people such cache in politics?
you forgot to mention me! 😉
Indoor work, no heavy lifting. I’m tanned, rested and ready! and a long-time resident of the district.
That would be absolutely freakin’ magnificent, V. Seriously. You’d be great.
But I am in Lois Court’s House district and if she gets the Senate seat, well, I’ll still tanned, rested and ready;-)
under the Dome should know better than to run.
I am vain enough to believe I’d be a pretty good legislator. I’m also realistic enough to know that I would suck as a candidate. I know a few former journalists who served in the lege and only one, Martha Ezzard, was really good. And even she was more a PR person, John Love’s press secretary, than a journalist.
is an example of a good journalist and fine man who was also a really awful candidate. And unlike Art, V, you actually present yourself very well as a public speaker.
art was an absolute master of education issues but flailed as a candidate for the school board.
I am fine at public speaking. But I suck at the art of suffering fools gladly. And that is a prerequisite for a good candidacy;-)
But it would drive you nuts trying to work with idiots. After your long career, your bullshit meter is set far too low to allow much patience with the likes of Steve King, just to name one example.
Think of having to spend 12-15 hours a day with a bunch of people just like the Beej!
I’d vote for you.
I think Ken could come back, since he’s been out of the Legislature for two years.
Some people think Ken’s like Jeezus. Never been one of them, myself. When he ran for the Senate the first time, in 2000, he made a big deal of refusing to take PAC money. Meanwhile, IIRC, most of his campaign staff payroll was offloaded to the state party; of course, the CDP was bringing in PAC money hand over fist (this all being pre-A27, pre-BCRA days).
They picked up pennies from the road as they walked across the state. One of my favorite trophies is one of those pennies, in plexiglass, for my work on ref c.
is that he served in District 35 through 2008. Did he move to Lowry after that point?
Joyce Foster has his old seat in 35 and isn’t up until 2012.
before running for the same office again. Does the same rule apply to an appointment, i.e., Ken Gordon?
Ken burned a few bridges in the AR/Bennet primary but came back on board to support Bennet. Does he actually live in 32 now?
Thanks, I thought the term limits rule was two years. Appreciate the info. I think Ken still lives in Lowry, within SD32, unless he’s moved recently.
but apparently it is four years, which is one senate election but two house terms.
I have seen former Senators run immediately for House seats, which is fine since term limits only apply to a given office. Don Ament did that, but didn’t actually go back to the House since after his election Bill Owens named him agricultural commissioner.
He lives in Joyce Foster’s district.
Will a committee pick Romer’s replacement or will there be a special election?
150+ people. PCPs and elected Ds who live in the district
I think that’s also Cary Kennedy’s district. Though it might be a step down.
Imagine her as chair of the Finance Committee.
Be still my beating heart.
(Happy sigh)
Great idea!
I joke! I like Msssssss. K.
