State Sen. Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud, on Monday said he will run against Democratic U.S. Rep. Jared Polis of Boulder in the state’s reconfigured 2nd Congressional District.
Lundberg waited until a counter on a website for his exploratory committee ticked past 1,500, the number of supporters he said heneeded before stepping up to run.
Other Republicans in the district — now Boulder and Larimer counties, and parts of Jefferson County — said Lundberg, among the most conservative members of the state legislature, likely will face opposition from his own party.
“I realize that it’s going to be a David-and-Goliath-type competition,” he said. “But I think there is a great deal of concern with our voters on where the country is heading.” The Reporter-Herald
