Brian Carroll’s campaign for the Democratic nomination in HD-28 has followed a rather curious arc: he first announced a run against a Democratic incumbent, retracted that announcement and exited the race, and then announced that he would indeed run for what is now an open seat.
Carroll ultimately withdrew before his campaign kickoff, but he’s apparently getting a second chance tonight.

Democratic Candidate Brian Carroll to kickoff campaign for open seat in new House District 28
Lakewood, CO – Army Veteran and Colorado National Guardsman Brian Carroll will officially kickoff his campaign for the open seat in the new House District 28 this Thursday, January 26th from 5:30 to 7:30 PM at the Elephant Bar in Bel Mar (7111 W Alaska Dr, Lakewood CO 80226).
WHAT: Campaign Kickoff – Brian Carroll for State House District 28
WHEN: Thursday January 26th from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM
WHERE: Elephant Bar, 7111 West Alaska Drive Lakewood, CO 80226
Light fare and refreshments will be provided. All are welcome and encouraged to attend!
This kickoff will be an important event for the veteran. Carroll needs to show he actually enjoys broad support within the community and that he’s made amends with the Democratic establishment that had previously rallied against his candidacy. That’s no easy task: Carroll only recently moved to Lakewood and because HD-28 is such a competitive seat, Democrats will want to draft the best possible candidate. Carroll needs to make the case that he is that candidate.
If he doesn’t, however – and there are few indicators that activists have warmed to him after his previous challenge to Rep. Andy Kerr – Carroll should expect a heated primary of his own.
