DENVER—Democrats chose Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter to give the party’s national radio address on Saturday.
His remarks will be broadcast on major radio networks at 9 a.m. MST.
Ritter said he will talk about the “positive, problem-solving vision” offered by moderate Western Democrats.
He said he would also discuss his initiatives to strengthen the role of renewable energy in the state economy and why he thinks the nation needs a new direction.
“It’s a great honor to give a national address, and I think the can-do spirit we embody here in Colorado speaks to what people around the country want from their leaders and from the next president of the United States,” Ritter said in a written statement.
Denver will be the site of the 2008 Democratic National Convention.
