A Recap of the Gazette’s Primary Election Picks

Colorado's 2022 primary election is about to be decided. Ballots must be returned by 7 p.m. Tuesday — so voters will want to hand-deliver them rather than drop them in the mail at this point. 

The Gazette editorial board has endorsed candidates only in the Republican primary as Democrats in most races face no opponents in their primary. Here’s one more look at our recommendations.

Joe O’Dea for U.S. Senate: Joe O’Dea is the Republican Party’s best hope for winning a statewide office in November. Republican voters would be smart to give him a landslide victory over his primary opponent, State Rep. Ron Hanks, in the June 28 GOP primary for U.S. Senate. O’Dea would provide voters with a stark contrast to incumbent Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet. Bennet grew up in Washington, D.C., attending elite schools and later an Ivy League law school; O’Dea is a life-long working-class Coloradan who founded a highly successful construction company and other businesses. Crime, drugs and inflation are among the reasons he chose to resist his comfort zone and pursue the rigors of a campaign for public office.
