2020 CO US Senate Election- Joe Neguse-D or Jason Crow-D 2014 AR US Senate Election- Tom Cotton-R.

To those who say that CO US Representatives Joe Neguse-D and Jason Crow-D are unlikely to run for the US Senate due to the fact they just got elected to the US House, I say- Let's take a look at Tom Cotton(R-AR). Cotton(R-AR) had zero political experience when he got elected to the US House in 2012. In 2014 after 1 term in the US House, he ran for the US Senate against Democratic incumbent Mark Pryor-D and defeated him by a landslide margin.
Joe Neguse has more political experience than Tom Cotton. Neguse was elected to the University of Colorado Board of Regents in CO-2nd Congressional District in 2008. In 2014 he ran for CO Secretary of State but narrowly lost in the November General Election to Wayne Williams-R. Joe Neguse is a progressive Democrat who is well respected by Ken Buck- a Conservative Republican US House Member from CO.
Jason Crow like Tom Cotton served in the US military before running for elected office(US House). Crow got elected by unseating a sitting Republican incumbent by a double digit margin in a swing district that is trending Democratic.
CO State Senate Majority Leader Steve Fenberg or CO State House Speaker KC Becker- can run for the US House to replace Joe Neguse-D and CO State Senate Assistant Majority Leader Rhonda Fields can run for the US House to replace Jason Crow-D
