Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-CO) screwed himself. He failed to qualify in the primary. The Democrats will pour money into this supposedly safe Republican seat. |
The Colorado Supreme Court ruled that the longtime Colorado Springs Republican will not be on the ballot in the primary. He failed to get enough signatures to qualify.
He tried a last ditch motive to save his goose. It failed.
Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-CO) hired a petitioner who didn't live in the district and the collection of signatures were ruled invalid.
State Representative Owen Hill and El Paso Commissioner Darryl Glenn are now likely going to duke it out. Lamborn wants to take this matter to federal court.
Lamborn, a far right Republican stood in the way of gun reform and affordable healthcare. Even in mass shootings, Lamborn wants more guns on the street.
Lamborn is a part of the Do Nothing but Scream Freedom Caucus.
Lamborn is a known racist.
Support Stephany Rose Spaulding, the Democrat running against the Republican who wins in their primary. |
I'm loving this.
Republicans are panicking. Donald J. Trump, Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan are very toxic to the Republicans.
Mind you, there is a competitive race in Arizona. The district once held by that racist Republican lawmaker Trent Franks is up for grabs. Franks resigned after he was accused of sexually harassing two women staffers. He said some controversial stuff about Obama, immigrants and Black people during his years in Congress.
A district carried by Donald J. Trump and won easily by Franks could be won by the Democrats.
Democratic candidate Hiral Tipirneni is within striking distance of her opponent Republican Debbie Lesko. She could win the Republican seat.
Tipirneni is a physician who is running on the positions healthcare, veterans affairs and immigration reform. She is an Indian American.
More women are lining up to become lawmakers. They are tired of status quo and believe they could provide balance to Washington, DC.
