Colorado Politics Could be Shaken to its Core this November – Denver Post Sunday Perspective Section

The Denver Post featured my guest commentary as the lead in its Sunday Perspective section. The cover graphic is a voter standing astride a separating fault line with the caption, “Hold on: Political rumblings afoot. Colorado’s political landscape is about to undergo another seismic shift from the 2018 election.”

Colorado’s political landscape is about to undergo another seismic shift.

A surge in new social movements, evolving voter attitudes, rising new leaders and changing demographics, taken together, are creating significant fault lines. Like the earth’s surface, the political plates are about to slip and create a new configuration. The tension has been building for several years, but is now accelerated following the election of President Donald Trump in 2016.
