Most likely correct just look at Boulder, Steamboat Springs predominantly democrat as is Denver.. Adjoining cities not so much but district wise dems have more control...
Example reference only as I ski a lot in Steamboat Springs and love the town, Boulder I wouldn’t pay a penny to live there..Totally off their rockets!!
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — A 20-foot papier-mache donkey still hangs in his garage, but Routt County Commissioner Doug Monger is no longer a registered Democrat.
Monger made the switch to an Independent on Wednesday and announced his decision in a letter to the editor.
It was not the first time during his tenure as a commissioner that he saw a single party rule the trifecta of the state legislature. When Monger was first elected, in 2000, Republicans held that control under Gov. Bill Owens. In 2007, Gov. Bill Ritter oversaw a Democratic majority in all three chambers.
“Things were handled pretty respectfully during all those years,” Monger said.
This time, things feel different.
In his letter, Monger cited political polarization as a primary driver of his decision to disassociate from the Democratic Party. He feels that l*****t lawmakers are using their newfound power to push more extreme legislation that does not reflect the interests of a majority of Coloradoans, especially in more rural areas like Routt County.
He pointed to the discrepancy that the vast majority of members from the state’s General Assembly come from urban areas along the I-70 corridor.
“Right now, the urbanites are controlling our legislature,” he said. “We in rural Colorado are really not getting much of a v**e.”
Both Corrigan and Melton voiced support for Monger’s decision and do not expect it to change the way their relationship with him.
