Sen. Michael Bennet and state Attorney General Phil Weiser are duking it out in a Tuesday Democratic primary to succeed term-limited Gov. Jared Polis. (D).
Bennet holds key endorsements from state Democratic leaders, including Sen. John Hickenlooper and three of the five House Democrats from Colorado. Weiser, however, has run a formidable campaign in the closer-than-expected race.
On the other side of the aisle, state Rep. Scott Bottoms and state Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer are showing down for the Republican nod. Victory Marx, a ministry leader, is also on the GOP ballot.
The Democratic winner in Tuesday’s primary is the favorite to win the governor’s mansion this November.
Polls close at 9 p.m. EDT. Follow Decision Desk HQ’s results below.
