Colorado's Democratic Primary Showdown

Colorado’s Third District Democrats Alex Kelloff and Dwayne Romero are locked in a fiery primary battle, each offering distinct visions on healthcare, wages, fracking, and immigration. Kelloff champions universal affordable coverage with private plan options and federal drug price negotiation, while Romero backs ACA subsidies and a public option. On wages, Kelloff supports a federal raise without specifics; Romero proposes $12–15/hour. Childcare funding differs too—Kelloff wants federal support to trickle down; Romero demands direct state funding. Both oppose a fracking ban but split on oil leases: Kelloff wants environmental safeguards, Romero a full moratorium. Immigration plans also diverge: Kelloff pushes court reform and Dreamer citizenship; Romero prioritizes border security and DACA protection. Both agree ICE needs overhaul, but Kelloff favors a return to INS’s narrower role, while Romero calls for comprehensive reform. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
