    His platform is very lackluster. He’s basically running on not being her. :-/

      Interesting … because let’s be honest, that’s pretty much enough reason for most people to vote for him

      When your opponent is making a series of bad decisions, that is enough. People really are sick and tired of the blatant BS.

          I’m reading the document provided by killeeronthecorner. This is what I see:

          • He will fight for Western Colorado water rights.
          • He will push for an ‘all of the above’ energy plan which likely includes solar, wind, hydro, nuclear, and petrochemical.
          • He will push for farmer-friendly policies, which ties to the above plus opposing ‘bad’ regulations and opening markets.
          • He will take actions in support of small businesses.
          • Opposing ‘bad’ regulations, again.
          • Job Training.
          • Upgrade (presumably power and internet) infrastructure
          • He will tackle inflation (albeit without a good plan on how to deal with the current causes of inflation…)
          • He is pro-choice.
          • He is pro-environmentalism.

          He’s definitely a blue-dog Democrat, more conservative than I’d like, but this is CO-03 we’re talking about. You’re NOT going to get a progressive firebrand to represent that district. You’re going to get somebody who is on the Conservative end of the spectrum. Getting a Pro-Choice Moderate Democrat who is in any way open to Green policies in the district that includes Farmers and Oil Men and places like Rifle would be a godsend, considering the person who CURRENTLY represents CO-03 is rabidly anti-choice and quite interested in pushing radical MAGA policies. You get what you can take out of a place like CO-03.

            I mean, I think we’re too late to prevent global environmental catastrophe, but we should try hard. Otoh, I understand you.

      I’ve looked at the republican candidates in my local elections the last few years and that’s pretty much the entirety of their platforms. Most of their websites literally listed zero platform at all, it’s annoying as hell
