He’s not exciting (as he even says himself on his website) but he seems to have done a fair job for HD-5, at least since I’ve been living here.
…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.
…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.
His House District is a small portion of SD34. HD4 (Jerry Frangas)forms the bulk of SD34.
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.
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.
he’s good to go for the district?
Will any people of color be looked at for the seat, or will Bill Ritter continue his white-bread streak?
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.
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!
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!
Like a rainbow? Are you calling Bill gay?
Homophobe.
🙂
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.
It’s not easy being green either. 🙂
exactly.
He told us what to have for breakfast this morning.
Laugh it up. Just don’t be surprised when none of my people turn out for the dems and the Repiglithugs end up ending.
I won’t be surprised.
I have heard from multiple sources that Crisanta Duran (state Young Dems chair) may run in Senate District 34.
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.
