All those scrambling to fill Beth McCann’s vacancy can officially stop.
Irene Aguilar is a dedicated activist, articulate and will be a great Legislator. Beth was a rubber stamp for the insurance industry and did not deserve to be selected.
Yeah. A couple people just got a tough lesson in their intro to politics class.
Well, good luck to all and I hope they remembered to burn bridges after you’ve finished crossing. Even when burning in private.
I could not believe all the people who thought Beth would win. I know at least three people who were already working to fill her vacancy.
Not only was Dr. Irene the better choice she worked harder than all the other candidates combined.
don’t even like party insiders anymore. Voter discontent may have reached all the way to the PCP’s. The voters want blood or at least new blood and here they got the later.
McCann was clearly the woman to beat in this race and I would have guess Owen Perk as the most likely to upset her.
I attended the vacancy committee meeting last night because I had never seen one. I live in SD35 so had no role to play.
Overall, an interesting process. My sense is that Cindy Lowery is doing a good job getting the Denver Dems to be organized.
Here are the votes:
Ballot 1
Aguilar 44
McCann 33
Hart 24
Perkins 20
Royster 1
Lewis 0
Ballot 2
Aguilar 60
McCann 39
Hart 22
Ballot 3
Aguilar 80
McCann 39
Aguilar’s victory was quite decisive. She gained all but six votes from the non-McCann candidates by the time the third vote happened.
several excellent choices on the Democratic side. Folks like us in Arapahoe County and other red areas of the street dream of having just one with those odds to beat a Republican.
Congratulations to Dr. Aguilar. She is well-known in health care reform circles, not just in Colorado. She is a down-to-earth, empassioned advocate for people who have little representation. She will do her homework and then some.
I hope Beth McCann and Owen Perkins will continue to run for other positions. Their contributions to Colorado politics are also greatly appreciated.
