As The Denver Post reports:
Just two days after a faltering economy led House Minority Leader Mike May to announce his emminent departure from the legislature, it appears at least two DougCo Republicans are angling for his still-warm seat.
Jeremy Pelzer, formerly of PolitickerCO.com, reports that Dustin Zvonek has House District 44 in his sites and has already garnered endorsements from some big-name GOPers like outgoing Rep. Tom Tancredo and newly minted state Senate Minority Leader Josh Penry.
Zvonek ran U.S. Rep.-elect Mike Coffman’s successful campaign and told Pelzer’s Mile High Politics that Colorado Mortgage Lenders Association President Chris Holbert will likely challenge him for May’s seat.
Zvonek and Holbert’s may not be the last hats in the ring by the time a vacancy committee appoints May’s replacement in January.

You guys have to promote your own diaries now? A sign that bloodless transition isn’t going as smoothly as advertised, perhaps?
I believe diary promotion is how the moderators “bump” a front page story back to the top.
Though I think we should devote several hours of major network coverage to the other possibility…
I met Mr. Zvonek a few times during the primary and this decision is a “no brainer”… He’s a great guy, has intelligence, and will represent HD 44 well.
Good to see that Dustin has it on some webpages. God almighty, what happened to proofreading?
He’s tanned, he’s rested, and he has lots of experience…
who’s he to kick? Watch out bloggers!
Holbert has the inside track – Zvonek working the crowd – Lawrence a long shot.
CS has it right – http://www.coloradostatesman.com
He’s the guy, who was so confident, that Ted Harvey was going to win the CD-6 nomination that he had formed an exploratory committee to run for his senate seat, lol, then Ted got destroyed and he cried (this is true, believe it or not, lol).
