Denver November 2004 Election
Here's an article from the Denver Post about the race for the nomination for C.U. Regent [July 30, 2004, "6 candidates seek 3 slots for CU regent"]. From the article, "Six candidates are vying in three Aug. 10 primary races for six-year, unpaid terms. There will be a Democratic and Republican primary in Denver's 1st Congressional District. Meanwhile, two Democrats - lobbyist Wally Stealey and 12-year regent Jim Martin - fight for the ballot in the statewide at-large race." Here's Michael Carrigan's website and here's Howard Gelt's website. Pleases e-mail me with other links that I've missed.
Supporters of Initiative 100 have found support from a former circus employee, according to the Denver Post [July 29, 2004, "Ex-employee of circus: Elephants abused daily"]. From the article, "Tom Rider, a barn hand with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey from 1997 to 1999, stood on the steps of Denver's City and County Building and described 'absolute, systemic, daily abuse of the elephants' by circus trainers."
Here's an article about women and voting from the Rocky Mountain News [July 30, 2004, "Nonpartisan push to get women to polls"]. From the article, A number of groups - many of them nonpartisan - have formed to try to energize women politically. Most tout the startling statistic from the U.S. Census Bureau that more than 15 million women ages 18 to 34 did not vote in the last presidential election."
