State Sen. Evie Hudak (Colorado), faced with recall, to resign [View all]
"Democratic state Sen. Evie Hudak, whose constituents are attempting to oust her from office in a special recall election, is set to resign her seat. Hudak will hold a news conference Wednesday morning at the Arvada Library.
"By resigning I am protecting these important new laws for the good of Colorado and ensuring that we can continue looking forward," Hudak wrote in her resignation letter in regard to her gun votes, which led to the recall effort.
Proponents of the recall have until early next week to submit about 18,900 valid signatures to the secretary of state's office. If enough signatures are valid, Hudak would be the third Colorado lawmaker to face a recall election this year because of her support for tougher gun laws.
Two of her Democratic colleagues, Sens. John Morse of Colorado Springs and Angela Giron of Pueblo, were ousted from office in September despite millions of dollars and endless resources trying to defend them.

I wonder if Hickenlooper, up for re-election next year, is hearing footsteps behind him yet?
