Colorado Democrats have set up a one-on-one primary fight for the U.S. Senate and governor’s races, setting the stage for campaigning before the June 30 primary. Over 1,600 Democratic faithful gathered at Memorial Hall in Pueblo to cast their votes for their party's candidates for top statewide offices. Candidates who won 30% support or more from the delegates won a spot on the primary ballot. The overall winner will hold the top spot in the list of nominees when ballots go out. State Sen. Julie Gonzales, a progressive from Denver, will compete with U.K. Sen. John Hickenlooper in the primary election. Attorney General Phil Weiser won more than 90% of delegates at the Colorado Democratic Party's state assembly in his bid for governor. Other races ended in approximately the same spot as they were at the start.
