Aw, poor baby. Guess that's what happens when you don't work during the interim like other legislators do.
One down, one to go?
MAGAt-nuttus' favorite racist lady can make a comeback by parachuting into HD-47 when the guy that beat her drops out?

#Rehyer2018!! Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now-and-then. Moddy’s due a win (he’s waaay behind on the law of averages); let’s let him waste it on a House seat.
Wasn't this previously John Kezer's House District? Any chance the vacancy committee will turn to him? And his big dog too?
Last I heard, he moved to Wisconsin, because the Colorado Dems hurt his fee-fees by exposing his petition fraud.
Sounds like a pickup opportunity now more than it was a pickup opportunity before.
Happy trails, ya whiny bitch. You made 'em, you support 'em. Personal responsibility and all.
He really is a whiner isn't he.
You betcha. Almost anyone the vacancy committee picks will have a better shot at hanging onto this seat for the GOP than this crybaby knob.
Maybe. Leonard was uniquely weak. He did have the incumbency advantage and there will be someone else to step in with 3 months to go in this election cycle when the Dem has already been campaigning for over a year.
Imagine the delights of setting up a new campaign … Fewer than 100 days until election day, minus however many it will take the vacancy committee to gather, and really, needing to be crammed into the days before ballots drop into the hands of voters.
Wonder if we can start a "Republicans in disarray" meme?
Perhaps Steve Lebsock can move to Leonard's district and take up the cause for his new political party.
No loss here. He was also a terrible legislator.
Looking at bills Leonard sponsored, most of them were cosponsored with Senator Tim Neville, (who might well be defeated if Dems do a decent job getting out the vote for Tammy Story. ) And most of them deservedly ended up in the Kill Committee (State, Military and Veteran's Affairs). Tim Leonard was also known to be one of the ALEC politicians, pushing legislation authored by corporations to benefit corporations.
Then there was this bill written only to make headlines, cosponsored with Neville and the term limited fried-chicken fancier and Boy Scout bullier Vicki Marble:
So other than the fact that higher education institutions do not traffic in aborted human body parts, and that it had zero chance of becoming law, it was a fantastic bill.
That's almost the sum total of Tim Leonard's legislative value to his constituents in three terms – 2016-2018…..so he has done almost as much good for the voters in HD25 as he has for his own children.
