Colo. Dem Assembly: Romanoff takes more than 60 percent

Senatorial candidate and former Colorado Speaker of the House Andrew Romanoff took 60 percent of the votes during the Democratic State Assembly. Incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet took 39 percent.

Much of the Colorado Democratic base has shown continuous, solid support for Romanoff. While his win today may not have come to a complete surprise to many of the active progressives in Colorado, the next question is: can he pull off a win in the primary, faced with Bennet’s big campaign budget?
