The Cherry Creek News: "Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Bill Ritter has picked up key legislative endorsements, adding them to an earlier endorsement by Speaker of the House Andrew Romanoff, who removed himself from consideration for the race...
"Representatives Alice Borodkin, Terrance Carroll, Cheri Jahn and John Soper and Senators Paula Sandoval and Jennifer Veiga gave Ritter the nod. All of them are on the record as pro-choice. Ritter, the former Denver DA, is pro-life...

Colorado Lib: "The Post put Republican Bob Beauprez's official entry into the governor's race on the front page of the paper. And Democrat Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper gets more press than any non-candidate in the history of politics. But this afternoon's press release from the Bill Ritter for governor campaign showed that being first into the race has its advantages...
"The release highlights super-popular state House speaker Andrew Romanoff's endorsement of Bill Ritter. And then goes on to list just a couple other politicians who have decided to back Ritter. Like state representatives Alice Borodkin, Terrance Carroll, Cheri Jahn and John Soper. And state senators Paula Sandoval and Jennifer Veiga. Plus former lawmakers Polly Baca, Nolbert Chavez, Mike Feeley, Ray Kogovsek, Stan Matsunaka, Gil Romero, Paul Sandoval and Wellington Webb. And so on."

From the article, "Congressman Bob Beauprez will officially kick off his campaign for governor Tuesday morning at the state Capitol, then spend the rest of the week barnstorming around the state."
