Denver November 2004 Election
Gary Hart will not try to win the seat in the U.S. Senate currently held by Ben Nighthorse Campbell, according to the Denver Post [January 31, 2004, "Hart won't run; Dems still looking"]. From the article, "Mike Miles, the leader among the small pack of political unknowns who are already running, says he's not worried about anyone else getting in. He has raised about $140,000 compared with Campbell's $1.8 million, but he has been beating the bushes since the fall of 2001. He announced Friday that he has nearly 1,000 people signed up to attend the Democratic caucuses this April. 'I think anyone who thinks about getting into the race underestimates the grassroots support we've built,' said Miles, a Colorado Springs educator. (State Democratic chairman Chris) Gates says that state Sen. Dan Grossman, D-Denver, will take another look at the race now that Hart is out. And University of Colorado Regent Jim Martin is still said to be looking at the race. There have been grumblings that state and national party officials should stop recruiting the party's old guard when there's already a primary between Miles, Larry Johnson of Boulder and Denver lawyer Brad Freedberg. But Gates says it's his job to build interest in the race."
Here's the link to Mike Miles' website and Brad Freedburg's website. I don't think Senator Campbell has a re-election website yet but here's a link to his Senate website.
