Colorado voters will have to choose between Sen. Michael Bennet and Attorney General Phil Weiser in the upcoming June 30 Democratic primary election for governor.
It is important to understand the weighty question of whether to bring Bennet back to Colorado. Voters have already sent him to Washington and, to date, he has had relatively little administrative experience outside of a short tenure as Denver Public Schools superintendent. Bennet’s recent rhetorical references would have us believe otherwise.
On the other hand, Weiser has served as Colorado’s attorney general since 2018. His constant work protecting Coloradans’ legal and constitutional rights should continue by electing him governor. Bennet should remain in Washington for the reasons we sent him there.
