Three-Way Battle Now in HD-7

•  
• by: Colorado Pols

In statehouse news, there are now three Democratic candidates vying to replace term-limited House Speaker Terrance Carroll in east Denver’s HD-7. Angela Williams, a Stapleton business owner and community activist, was in the race early with Carroll’s endorsement. Mark Mehringer, a Party member and volunteer, has raised a fair amount of early coin. Last week, former Colorado Common Cause director Jon Goldin-Dubois–probably the best-known of the three among the politically astute–filed to run for this seat. All three are energetically campaigning, though many people we’ve talked to expect the race for this safe Democratic district to narrow to Williams vs. Goldin-Dubois relatively quickly. Beyond which it’s anybody’s guess, both candidates seem to have quite a bit of support to lean on.
