Caption This: Donald Trump, Meet Rep. Clarice Navarro

  • 7 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

Here’s a photo proudly posted to the Twitter feed of Republican Rep. Clarice Navarro of Pueblo, taken at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver earlier this month:

Rep. Navarro is considered an important bridgehead for the GOP in an area of the state with a large and swingy population. HD-47 stretches from Penrose and suburban Pueblo West through to La Junta along the Arkansas River valley. The district features large Latino, Mormon, and agriculture-reliant populations. In 2012, the last presidential election year, Navarro won her seat by a relatively narrow 51.7% margin.

And now, depending on the ability of Navarro’s underdog Democratic opponent Jason Munoz to get the word out, HD-47 has this photo to think about. In Southern Colorado politics, one of the worst things you can be accused of is “going Denver”–getting elected, and then promptly forgetting the interests of the people who elected you once you arrive in the state capitol.

In HD-47, Donald Trump might provoke a more visceral response than “going Denver.”
