DENVER—A spokesman for Rep. Diana DeGette says the congresswoman will be the first member of Colorado’s Democratic delegation to back a presidential candidate.
Kristofer Eisenla (eyes-IN-la) says DeGette will endorse one of the “top three” Democratic candidates. He did not say which one. Senators Hillary Clinton, John Edwards and Barack Obama have led in polling for the Democratic nomination.
DeGette, the architect of stem cell research bills in Congress, will join the candidate’s campaign as a key health adviser.
The official endorsement is expected Monday.
Among Colorado Republicans, Rep. Tom Tancredo is running for president and Sen. Wayne Allard is backing Mitt Romney.
