LOL!!! So popular that he was thrown out of office on his ass with extreme prejudice last year. Just to show that Newsmax is a worthless rag not worthy of using for my dogs to go to the bathroom on.
Neville is popular with Newsmax readers and homeowners who eat dog shit.
How convenient that Neville just vacuumed up a few hundred thousand emails across CD-4 under the guise of recalling Polis?
I'm personally hoping for Greg Brophy and the stool he carries with him at all times in order to be seen.
He sold his house in Wray and I'm pretty sure he's domiciled in Denver now. He'd have to move back into the district unless he's using his farm address for voting purposes. I've always had a lot of respect for BJ Nikkel but I think she's just outside the district, too. If this is true look for Jerry Sonnenberg to raise his hand. Who isn't running for Weld County Commissioner these days? Anybody in that category will likely be raising their hand, too.
Doesn't B.J. Nikkel have tusks (i.e., RINO-itis)? She is good on LGBT issues.
As for who else might run, this will truly be a clown car race: Barbara Kirkmeyer ran once before, Lori Saine, Vicky Marbles, Perry Buck (for all we know, she may have gotten awarded the surplus yard signs in the divorce), and retreads Brophy, Renfroe, and Musgrave.
She does, but if that seat is going to be occupied by an R I'd prefer it be someone in her mold (her, preferably).
Me too, definitely. And if there are enough nut jobs on the primary ballot, maybe Nikkel would have a shot at the nomination.
Perry would be an interesting choice. Her dad was a well-respected businessman and commissioner in Weld County. We're on different ends of the political spectrum but she's a genuinely nice person. The bigger question is which one of them wants to go through that process to be in the House minority? As is painfully obvious, none of the Alpha males who loved their power while in the majority transitioned well to 'toothless ankle biters'.
I suppose Neville could transport his penile compensator to a Hill office (in the basement) and have constituents drop by for pictures? (for a fee)
As far as I know, the US Constitution does not require residency in a Congressional district in order to be a congressman. Just residency in the State. So, it could be almost anyone. Former Fort Collins Councilmember and wealthy developer Gino Campana has been shopping for an office since he left council and he might see this as his opportunity. Certainly, he would have a hard time as a Republican beating Neguse.
Colorado Secretary of State has a guide (downloadable pdf), which shows the following requirements for US representatives:
Pages 4-10 of the downloadable pdf step through how a candidate accesses the ballot.
2020 is the year that a Democrat or moderate unaffiliated has a chance of taking CD4. We've been steadily becoming more competitive in CD4 – 29%, 31%, 39% in 2018. If Buck resigns, wouldn't Polis appoint his replacement?
Sonnenberg is a conspiracy nut who keeps getting elected in his district, but I don't think he'd be all that competitive in a CD4 contest. He's too demonstrably nuts. The Obama tears, the Julesburg Jihadists, ISIS on the border, no rain barrels for you, etc. I don't think he can crack 45%, which is about the proportion of Trumpers in CD4.
No unaffiliated will win a congressional seat. Or a legislative seat, either.
Governors only appoint to vacancies in the Senate, so if Bennet gets a cabinet position next year we'll probably have two new Senators in 2019. House districts on the other hand remain vacant until a special election can be held.
Winning the 4th remains a pipe dream, however. There's only 1 State House district entirely within the 4th's boundaries that we won in 2018, and it was the closest election in the state that year. There are no State Senate districts that match that description, either.
That district will elect a Democrat when the Betsy Markey Perfect Storm replicates itself.
Fort Collins needs to be drawn back into CD 4, a ghastly and unlikeable candidate must be the GOP nominee, and a credible Dem with financial support rides a "D" wave election.
Cq, Corky. I think if elected you're required to have a residence in the district, but that can be a mail box. My friend Byron Johnson ran for Congress against bill armstrong though he technically lived in denver, actually an arapahoe enclave of denver. No one cared. Residency is.more of a politicsl requirement than a legal one.
Given Buck’s skill set, I guess he’s now OK with at least some folks becoming a public charge??-

Given some of the recent shuffles in Republican Colorado, might Buck be willing to set the table for his short time "Executive Officer," Mr. House?
Gotta admit, it would be cheaper to run in an open race than try to catch up to the fundraising of Rep. Crow.
