COLORADO SPRINGS — What was billed as a town hall meeting turned into a half-hour tease for Rep. Gordon Klingenschmitt’s announcement that he plans to run for a state Senate seat.
Klingenschmitt, R-Colorado Springs, went through a list of his accomplishments in the state legislature Wednesday at the Airplane Restaurant. He also discussed his attempts to “fight for Republican principles” that didn’t make it through the Democrat-controlled House.
He took a small handful of questions limited only to constituents in House District 15, teasing his “plans for 2016” along the way, before announcing he plans to run for Senate District 12.
The seat is held by Senate President Bill Cadman, who will reach his term limits in 2016.
Klingenschmitt said he fasted for 72 hours before the Wednesday night meeting and asked for God’s advice on his political future.
