CO-TREAS: State senator defeats two Democratic rivals, securing lone spot on primary ballot for Colorado treasurer

PUEBLO — State Sen. Jeff Bridges on Saturday won enough support from Democratic Party delegates to block both of his rivals from advancing to the June primary in the Colorado treasurer’s race.

Candidates needed the backing of 30% of the roughly 1,350 delegates at the Colorado Democratic Party’s state assembly in Pueblo to advance to the primary ballot.

Bridges, who is vice chairman of the legislature’s powerful Joint Budget Committee, received 44% of the vote, while state Rep. Brianna Titone received 29% of the vote and former El Paso County Democratic Party Chairman John Mikos received 27% of the vote.

As a result, he’ll appear uncontested on the June primary ballot, making him all but a lock to secure the Democratic nomination and advance to the general election in November. Given the GOP’s history of losses in Colorado, Bridges is also the favorite to become the state’s next treasurer.
