Denver November 2004 Election
Still undecided on a candidate for U.S. Senate? The Denver Post is running an highlighting the differences between the candidates [October 31, 2004, "U.S. Senate candidates offer sharp differences"]. From the article, "Republican Pete Coors is a conservative, wealthy businessman who says his experience running a large company makes him the right pick. Democrat Ken Salazar is a moderate state attorney general who says his law enforcement background and environmental record make him the best choice...In the final weeks of the campaign, Salazar has focused on his background in law enforcement, the war in Iraq, health care and the economy. He also campaigns on issues involving water, a vital topic for the generally conservative voters on the Eastern Plains and in the mountains of southwestern Colorado. Salazar, a former water lawyer who has taken campaign contributions from polluters, says he wants to balance development and farming with environmental preservation...Coors advocates less government, lower taxes and a strong national defense. He has poured $1 million of his own money into his campaign, which was lagging Salazar's in fundraising. Coors has promoted his business experience, including what he calls his problem-solving skills."
Cortez Journal: "Cortez, Montezuma County and the Four Corners are not an isolated stall for the ongoing political horse race to Tuesday's election. Various statewide candidates made last ditch efforts to rally campaign support this week, and some continue to march through the region."
