If Brian Carroll and Andy Szekeres had any hopes that there would be at least a few elected officials backing Carroll’s intent to put Rep. Andy Kerr into a primary, they’re probably long gone now.
Kerr’s first e-mail invite to his high profile fundraising event at State Senator Pat Steadman’s home read like a who’s who of Colorado’s GLBT advocacy community.
The follow up e-mail, though, reads like a who’s who of Democratic politics:
Sen. Betty Boyd • Sen. Morgan Carroll • Hon. Terrance Carroll • Rep. Edward Casso • Rep. Lois Court • Rep. Rhonda Fields • Hon. Sara Gagliardi • Rep. Deb Gardner • Rep. Millie Hamner • Sen. Rollie Heath • Sen. Mary Hodge • Rep. Dickey Lee Hullinghorst • Sen. Mike Johnston • Rep. Matt Jones • Rep. Daniel Kagan • Rep. John Kefalas • Hon. Robin Kniech • Rep. Pete Lee • Rep. Claire Levy • Hon. Alice Madden • Rep. Beth McCann • Rep. Wes McKinley • Rep. Joe Miklosi • Hon. Dominick Moreno • Sen. John Morse • Rep. Dan Pabon • House Minority Leader Sal Pace • Hon. Dianne Primavera • Hon. Joe Rice • Hon. Andrew Romanoff • Rep. Su Ryden • Sen. Gail Schwartz • Senate President Brandon Shaffer • Rep. Judy Solano • Rep. John Soper • Rep. Nancy Todd • Rep. Max Tyler • Rep. Angela Williams • Rep. Roger Wilson • Rep. Dave Young
Anthony Aragon • David Beller • Brian Boyles • Mike Brewer • Bobby Clark & Shaun Cartwright • Brad Clark • D.J. Close • Adam Crowley • Will Coyne • Jessie Danielson • Lauri Dannemiller • Preston Dickey & Jon Corrigan • Adam Eichberg • Dennis Hamann • Phil Hayes • Andy Kabza • Courtney Law & Sonja Semion • Scott Martinez • Lynne Mason • Pete Maysmith • Bob Nogueira • Dr. Christopher Ott • Paul Rosenthal • Amy Runyon-Harms • Dan Schoen • Roger Sherman • Andrew Short • Jeff Thormodsgaard • Dr. Mark Thrun • Terry Todd • Ted Trimpa • Jamie Van Leeuwen & Matt Derrington • Jen Walmer • Benjamin Waters • Linda Weinerman • Darrell Watson & Mike Wenk • Julie Whitacre • Andy White • Karen Wick • Gary Wockner • Jess & Addison Woodrum
cordially invite you to a fundraiser in support of pro-equality hero
Andy Kerr
Kerr’s event is being co-hosted (even if honorarily) by nearly every noteworthy Democrat involved with the legislature in some capacity. If Carroll and company didn’t take the hint before, they’re certainly paying attention now. It’s a hard message to ignore: Democrats support Andy Kerr, and they don’t support Carroll’s primary challenge.
Of course, Carroll probably does enjoy the implicit support of at least one state representative: Ken Summers. We’re sure the Republican is overjoyed at the prospects of Democratic in-fighting in the race to capture his seat.
