Polis Loses Larimer and Jefferson Counties

Jared Polis has ten counties in his Second Congressional District. He lost half of them, including the largest, Larimer, to an unknown and underfunded Republican candidate, George Leing. Polis also lost Jefferson County, which with Larimer are among the state’s most important swing counties.

Although Polis may have ambitions in Washington and, in fact, may become a player in the U.S. House, he has limited political marketability in Colorado.
