Last Tuesday, as the results came in for the Primary election, The Denver Paper and others called HD 41 too close to call, being separated by only 42 votes with Melton in the lead.
But over the next few days, as the last few dozen ballots were counted, Melton’s lead grew and, as of Monday, his lead stood at 54 votes with only 28 outstanding ballots left to be sorted out.
So it is now time to move past the primary and onto the general election. There are several very important and contested legislative races in Arapahoe County, not to mention the CD6 race, that needs the full attention and dedication of our talents and resources.
I wish they both could have won. Jovan brings a fresh, young perspective and the legislature needs more diversity. I think the world of Terry. I hope Terry will stay involved. Aurora needs his voice, too.
