As a resident of CO, I would like to see a 2026 US Senate Race between Neguse-D and Boebert-R.

The 2026 CO US Senate Race between Neguse-D vs Boebert-D will be a competitive US Senate Race which Neguse-D will end up winning by a double digit margin.
I support Neguse because he is the most progressive member of the CO US Congressional Delegation.
Neguse-D is a better candidate than Polis-D when it comes to the issue of the income tax. Polis wants to eliminate the income tax. Neguse-D opposed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act proposed by the Republicans when Trump was in power and Republicans were in the majority in the US Senate and US House.
I believe we need an income tax with the wealthy paying a higher rate than the middle class and the poor.
Neguse supports Medicare for All and the Affordable Care Act.
CO is better off with people like Joe Neguse in the US Senate.

Neguse will easily defeat Boebert in the November General Election.
Neguse is the CO version of Gallego(D-AZ) and Boebert is the CO version of Lake(R-AZ).

4. All of the Democrats in the MD US House Delegation are over 60 years old.

MD Democrats need Angela Alsobrooks to be the Democratic nominee for the US Senate is Cardin decides to retire.

I support Neguse in CO because he will be the 1st black US Senator of CO and will be in the US Senate for a maximum of 8 terms. Neguse will be 42 in 2026 and will be 90 years old in 2074.

Neguse-CO and Alsobrooks-MD are futures of the Democratic Party.

2. Boebert won't run for Senate

she has almost zero statewide appeal. She can barely win her reich-wing District. In fact, good chance she gets dumped in 2024.

6. Running for the US Senate in 2026 is the only way to keep her relevant assuming she loses her

US House seat in 2024. Boebert is a Republican that does not think rationally.

3. Is Boebert's district "progressive"? BTW, Adam Frisch has announced he's running against her.

I think he’ll beat her this time, he was so close before. Her recent antics will most likely result in more votes for Frisch.

JMHO of course. I like Neguse a lot too.

5. Current Sen.Hickenlooper's term ends in 2027. Have you seen something that suggests he will not

run for reelection? (Beyond ageist demands by some- which run rampant among many lately)

I like Neguse. I helped his campaign for Congress. But I'm not going to assume (yet) that Hickenlooper won't run. And there is no way even Boebert is stupid enough to run for CO Senate, IMO.
