Democratic gubernatorial candidate Rep. Jared Polis released a very long list of endorsements today (after the jump) of Colorado Democrats backing his campaign, including former Congresswoman Betsy Markey and most of the state’s legislative leadership from the area Polis represents in Congress.

The 2018 Colorado GOP gubernatorial primary has attracted a hefty pool of candidates, but there’s a reason why nobody in the race today has much in the way of traction: the all-but-certain imminent entry into the race of who should on paper be the frontrunner the moment he announces: Colorado Treasurer Walker Stapleton.
