The Westminister Democrat seemed to successfully evade recall in August, but the recent success of two other recall elections combined with her inflammatory statements during the state’s gun control debate have prompted a renewed effort. The group has already raised well over $6,000 and $7,000 in non-monetary contributions, as well as attracting many volunteers. http://www.recallhudaktoo.org/

 

Colorado’s gun control laws put the state in the national spotlight last spring. The package of bills passed – and the few which failed to – comprised some of the most stringent anti-second amendment legislation in the country. Though Governor John Hickenlooper said he didn’t believe signing the legislation would hurt his re-election bid, the backlash from Colorado citizens was stronger than anyone could predict.
