Weissmann Stays in House

As Colorado Confidential reports:

Boulder County Assessor Cindy Domenico will make a move in the county courthouse, while state Rep. Paul Weissmann will stick around at the capitol.

Domenico won the race to replace County Commissioner Tom Mayer hands down, with 47 of 81 votes in the first round. Mayer died of cancer last month, and state law requires a vacancy committee – in this case the county central committee – to select a replacement.

This may be bad news for Weissmann, but it’s good news for Democrats at the State Capitol. With the pending departure of term-limited senior statesmen like Andrew Romanoff and Alice Madden in 2008, Weissmann will be one of the few remaining Democrats with more than two terms of experience.
