Davidson Moving Up
ColoradoPols is reporting confirmation of a story that I originally had posted on DemNotes way back in May.
Donetta Davidson is leaving the post of Secretary of State early to take a Presidential appointment in Washington, DC. What this means for the GOP is anybody's guess. ColoradoPols is guessing that the Governor will appoint a short-timer, since Mike Coffman already has announced his intentions for the job (and can't take it now because of his Treasurer and military duties). What will happen is anybody's guess...
UPDATE: Here's some of this morning's news coverage on the move:
... could shut the door on the aspirations of Mike Coffman...
The Pueblo Chieftain:
Owens is expected to name a replacement to fill out the remainder of her second term.Davidson also has served as Arapahoe County Clerk from 1994 to 1999. Prior to that, she was elections director for the state from 1986 to 1994.
Her first elected office was as Bent County clerk, where she served from 1978 until 1986.
... and she worked across the hall there in Las Animas from my mom, FYI, who worked for Democratic Bent County Assessor Ben Lacy...
And from the Rocky:
"I anticipate swift confirmation of her nomination," said U.S. Sen. Wayne Allard, R-Colo. "Colorado's loss will be America's gain. President Bush could not have made a better choice."The federal post pays $140,000 - a jump from the secretary of state pay of $68,500.
