From The Denver Post:
Former state Rep. Keith King has his hands full running a charter school in Colorado Springs. But after much prodding from fellow Republicans, King says he will run for the Senate seat being vacated by Senate Minority Leader Andy McElhany. King said he will make a formal announcement Thanksgiving week.
If elected, education reform will remain his top priority. “I can continue to move forward on the agenda I fought really hard for in the House,” King said.
King was majority leader of the House in 2004 when the Democrats pulled out a surprise election victory that gave them control of both chambers for the first time in more than four decades. Not only did it ruin King’s chances of becoming House speaker, he was blamed by fellow Republicans for not doing enough to keep the majority.
Republican Chuck Fowler Jr. has been mentioned as another candidate for the same seat. King said he will have a talk with Fowler about his plans.
