The Con
Dear Friends and Neighbors: Far be it from me to criticize people who want to start a new party to address concerns in our political system.

No better choice than Andrew Romanoff
There is clearly no better choice than Andrew Romanoff in this year’s U. S. Senate race! I first met Andrew in 2004, shortly before he became Speaker of the State House of Representatives.
