What I find "morally offensive" is my fellow Republican, Senator Lundberg, trying to impose his personal religious views on the entire state population. The good senator really does need to read Article II, Section 4, of the Colorado Constitution in regard to religious freedom.
So tempted to just say that Kevin (Bill) Lundberg wants people to die painfully.
Say it. His actions on the implementation of this bill seems to show a preference that those who are dying to die in a slow and painful manner as opposed to a quick an painless manner.
And when it is my time to go, I will, of course, make sure to check with my doctor, my pastor, my family, and Kevin Lundberg before I check out….because, you know, smaller government.
Here's what Kevin Lundberg has on his campaign website:
So when the voters of Colorado actually approve an initiative "from the bottom up" by 65%, old Kevin should really be on board. But no. It isn't too surprising that Lundberg has no respect for voters – he was appointed by a Senate vacancy committee to his present position in 2009, had no primary opponent in 2010, ran unopposed in the primaries and general in 2014. He also tried unsuccessfully for Jared Polis CD2 seat in 2012.
2018 is the first real Senate election he will face since 2010. (Lundberg was a state Rep from 2002-2009)
For Gawdsake, Democrats, get on the stick and nominate a decent candidate to oppose this douchebag.
This is the same genius who claimed that IUDs stop "a small child from implanting" in the uterus. FYI, Kevin, IUDs prevent pregnancy, and are not abortifacients. Is that too sciency and icky for you?
I think he terms out in 2018.
So doesn't that mean he times out '20? Man, I'll be glad to see the back of that jackass.
If MJ's stats are correct, and if he gets re-elected in 2018, he'll "time out" in 2022 since he's a senator, not a representative.
Lundberg will be out after the 2018 session (technically, early January 2019).
You're right as usual, Psue; 8 years is the limit for state reps and senators.
So, again, why would Kevin Lundberg need to respect the wishes of voters? He's like, sayonara, suckers, in 2018.
Maybe Jared Polis will have the good fortune to draw this nut case as an opponent in '18.
Lundberg has one of those complicated election histories. He was a state rep from 02 to 09. Then he was appointed Senator when Steve Johnson resigned. He was actually re-elected as Senator in 2010, beating Democrat Richard Ball 67% – 33%. (I got that wrong in my comment above, but corrected it).
In 2012, he tried to unseat incumbent Jared Polis for CD12, failing miserably.
In 2014, he had no primary nor general opponent for his Senate seat.
2018 would be Lundberg's first contested Senate election since 2010. And, yes, he would term limit out in 2022, unless the Dems or Independents run a good candidate to defeat him in 2018. I would think that his budget shenanigans suppressing the wishes of Colorado voters on 106 should be hung around his neck like an anvil. There's plenty of moderates and liberals in SD15.
Per the Coloradoan, 2014 voter reg by county:
Larimer County stats: Dems: 52420 Reps: 66544 UAF: 77172
Senate district 15 may skew redder, since Fort Collins was carved out of it, but it should basically reflect the same pattern.
He's Termed out in 2018. He served less than a full term when he was first appointed. And he got elected to 2 full terms. The term-limits are 2 four year terms for state senators.
Well, the sooner he's out the better. He and Gordon Klingenschmidt are somewhat soul mates.
Amen brother!
I'm bummed they nixed funds for the health insurance exchange. In light of the fact that Republicans couldn't come up with anything better, what assholes.
Those of us who've had the "joy" of being repped-off by Kevin Lundberg the last 14 years know full well he's FINALLY term limited in 2018, and that he will likely step down sooner to allow the Larimer Republicans to backfill his seat with their preferred Alt-Right Alternative. That's how things work up here.
It's not too early for an intrepid Dem challenger to get their toes wet before the opposition reloads the clown car. He or she won't have incumbency, but could get out in front and establish a sane option without much opposition from ol' lame duck Lundberg.
Most people who have a job to do are either 1) Fired or 2) docked pay if they refuse to do the job. I'm pulling for a reduced salary! He’ll be termed out –just not soon enough for the “screwed” voters!
