Democrat Trisha Calvarese can remain on 4th District special election ballot, judge rules

By Sandra Fish | The Colorado Sun Democrat Trisha Calvarese will remain on the June 25 special election ballot in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, a Denver judge ruled Wednesday in throwing out a lawsuit seeking to dislodge her.  Calvarese “has presented a good faith effort to comply with applicable regulations and has not acted to mislead the electorate,” Denver District Court Judge David Goldberg wrote. The ruling came after a one-hour court hearing Tuesday in a lawsuit trying to keep Calvarese off the ballot based on the allegation that she hadn’t been registered as a Democratic voter in Colorado for long enough to qualify as her party’s nominee for the contest.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE COLORADO SUN

Lawsuit alleges Trisha Calvarese, Democratic nominee for 4th CD special election, is ineligible

By Jesse Paul | The Colorado Sun Trisha Calvarese’s selection as the Democratic nominee for the June 25 special election in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, a race that will determine who serves out the rest of former U.S. Rep. Ken Buck’s term, is being challenged in court.  A lawsuit filed Wednesday in Denver against Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold alleges that Calvarese was ineligible to be selected by delegates at a special Democratic convention last week because of a provision in state law known as  1–4-402. It says that “any candidate nominated by a political party must be affiliated with the party for at least twelve consecutive months prior to the date the convention begins, as shown in the statewide voter registration system.”  Calv...

Democrats Trisha Calvarese, John Padora land spots on 4th CD primary ballot at party assembly

By Ernest Luning | Colorado Politics Democratic delegates sent Trisha Calvarese and John Padora to Colorado's 4th Congressional District primary ballot Thursday night at an online assembly. They join Ike McCorkle, a Marine veteran and two-time previous nominee for the seat, who qualified for the primary earlier this week by petition. Covering Douglas County, parts of Larimer and Weld counties and the Eastern Plains, the 4th CD was formerly represented by Ken Buck, a five-term Republican who resigned from Congress last month. It's Colorado's most solidly Republican congressional district. The June 25 primary election will appear on the same ballot as a special election to fill the six months remaining in Buck's term.
