Barbara Kirkmeyer, Victor Marx and Michael Bennet filed petitions to qualify for Colorado’s gubernatorial primaries. The story also outlines petition and state-assembly routes for candidates in other races.
Candidates seeking a place on Colorado’s primary ballots could qualify through party assemblies, by petition, or both. Petitions were due March 18; gubernatorial candidates Barbara Kirkmeyer, Victor Marx and Michael Bennet filed, with 1,500 valid signatures required from each congressional district.
The article also reports petition filings and withdrawals in Senate and congressional races. Democratic and Republican state assemblies are scheduled for March 27 and April 11, respectively, and candidates who use both routes need at least 10 percent of delegates at assembly, compared with 30 percent for candidates relying on assembly alone.
