Those two are state Rep. Donald Valdez, D-La Jara, and Pueblo resident Soledad Sandoval Tafoya.
The two join three others who already have announced their intention to seek the nomination: state Sen. Kerry Donovan, D-Vail; Glenwood Springs attorney Colin Wilhelm; and Westcliffe rancher Gregg Harrison Smith.
Valdez, who tried to get the nomination last year but dropped out of the race before the June primary, said Boebertâs actions since taking office have prompted him to try again, particularly over the Silt Republicanâs attempts to challenge the outcome of the presidential election.
âLauren Boebert has proven to be a threat to our democracy, and her peddling of dangerous conspiracy theories isnât doing anything good for us here,â said Valdez, who made headlines statewide Wednesday when he tried to get the Colorado House to launch an investigation into a Republican representative who attended the Jan. 6 rally.
