Judd Leads Off 2010 Term Limit Musical Chairs

  • 22 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

From the Colorado Independent:

State Rep. Joel Judd has filed papers to run for Senate District 34 in 2010. The northwest Denver Democrat was just sworn in for his fourth term representing House District 5 and wants to take over for veteran state Sen. Paula Sandoval, who can’t run again due to term limits. Sandoval was elected twice without opposition in the heavily Democratic district, which is basically most of Denver west of Interstate 25.

Judd is the first General Assembly candidate to create a campaign committee for the next election, though he isn’t the first to announce his intention to run for a term-limited legislator’s seat. Last month, pollster Mark Mehringer, a Democrat, told the Colorado Independent he planned to run for term-limited House Speaker Terrance Carroll’s northeast Denver House District 7 seat.

Last week, Judd transferred $13,780 left over from his state House campaign to a newly formed state Senate committee, according to the Colorado secretary of state’s office. Judd won re-election in November with 80 percent of the vote against Republican J.J. Swiontek.

Judd won’t likely be able to sail into a general election without a Democratic primary. Next up to decide: Rep. Jerry Frangas.

  1. …he always responds to my emails, and even acted on one suggestion (making sure the Colorado National Guard was Federalized during Katrina, so they’d be eligible for VA benefits if they got hurt.)

    He’ll be a great State Senator.  

  2. …and could probably get elected to any other seat in the State House. He was very impressive in the debates with Rep Judd, and even got a compliment from him during one of them.

    If he’d move somewhere a little bit more Red, he’d get elected.

    1. but Rep. Ferrandino (HD2) does not live in the area that overlaps SD34 so he does not figure into the equation.

      In addition to his HD having a small portion of the SD, Joel faces another issue. He is very white.

      SD34 has traditionally been a latino-held district and I would not expect that to change with the next Senator.

        1. Judd is a boring name and it belongs to a guy so white, he glows in the dark.  Seriously, in sunlight he’s not allowed to stand by the road because the reflection is such that it blinds drivers and causes accidents.  That’s after a trip to the tanning salon.

    1. You realize, Judd will be running for the Senate seat in 2010, when his House term expires, right?

      Whoever steps forward and runs for HD 5 will “be looked at for the seat,” Bill Ritter’s got nothing to do with it.

      1. Bill Ritter is the white heart of the white party in an increasingly colored state. If you think he has nothing to do than you’re deluded. Bill Ritter is the head of the “democratic” party and his influence is pervasive!

        1. the Republican party, if anything, is the white party in Colorado, and Bill Ritter doesn’t hold much sway with them.

          Speaking of delusions, I wonder whether Ritter approves of the Queen of England’s secret underground city under the airport — that has more far-reaching implications than Judd’s replacement, so has to be at the top of his list, even if his influence is pervasive!

          1. just that the state is increasingly colored. Maybe he meant green? It is hard to be white in a green world. I think Bill Ritter deserves our pity, not our contempt.

    1. though she may decide to run for HD5.

      Frangas will definitely run for SD34.

      HD4 may see a primary between Dan Pabon (currently a captain) and former Denver Chair Jennifer Coken.

      Coken has said she is definitely running and Pabon has indicated he may be interested.

      If Duran runs in HD5 she will likely not face a primary.  If she opts for the Senate District, it would definitely be at least a 2-way primary and entirely possible that Judd, Frangas and Duran could all end up on the primary ballot.
