In reply to the discussion: Colorado passed all four gun control bills tonight [View all]politicat
(9,808 posts)22. Yep - eastern Adams County
For non Colorado folks, E Adams is the stereotypical high plains -- rural and small town, mostly agricultural and ranching (though moving towards oil, gas and wind) and old-school conservative. it also encompasses much of Aurora, which is the major population center for the district. And Senator Hodges is a Dem from that area.
She was elected and reelected with a comfortable margin, and she's a middle of the road Dem -- seems okay with fracking, is fiscally sensible, has strong water rights policies.
Also, she's been championing a spaceportat the regional airport. For which she gets a bit of my money even if she wasn't already pretty good.
