Figured nows the time to get this thread up and running. 2021 is a crucial time for our program as there are 3 seats up for election:
CD2 (Boulder): Linda Shoemaker’s district. She’s finally stepping down thankfully, but her potential successor appears just as bad if not worse
Presumed Candidate:
Callie Rennison: a Title IX administrator at the UCD campus. Think Shoemaker 2.0 (maybe worse). Already been endorsed by Shoemaker and will be 100% anti athletics
Goal: To find a pro athletic democrat to rally around as this is in boulder county and most voters will just vote on this along par there just isn’t one clearly identified.
CD6 (Aurora) – MOST IMPORTANT SEAT: This race will be to replace John Carson, who declined to run for a second term. The Democrats have coalesced around single candidate:
Illana Spiegel- an education activist.
Republican Choices (these two will primary one another before going up against Speigel:
Priscilla Rahn – Priscilla is a secondary school teacher in Aurora. Apparently have heard nice things about her but we don’t know her stance on athletics so no need to really take a chance
Richard Murray – Richard, who is an attorney, is the candidate Most of the Republican establishment have rallied around as the most electable candidate. He’s backed by the other conservative regents on the currently on the board as well. He is also a huge Buff fan supporter and was at the Blake Street tavern signing day event
Rallying around Richard to get him elected should be priority #1 for fans of Buff athletics. It doesn’t matter about party lines here. It just matters on keeping a pro-athletic majority on the Board. That majority goes away if We lose this seat.
