Colorado Governor Race Deep Dive | Colorado Springs News
Description
In Colorado’s heated governor’s race, Democrat Phil Weiser and unaffiliated Greg Lopez clashed in a civil but pointed debate, tackling housing, data centers, and gun laws — while Republican Victor Marx stayed conspicuously absent. Weiser pushed for affordable starter homes, modular construction, and data center regulations to protect communities, while Lopez focused on land-use reform and vowed to scrap costly firearm safety courses, calling them unconstitutional. On guns, Weiser defended red flag laws as Second Amendment-compliant mental health tools, contrasting with Lopez’s stance. They also diverged over a prison commutation, with Weiser condemning it as lacking remorse and Lopez standing by his support. With mail ballots soon to arrive, Colorado’s Democratic lean looks poised to continue — and voters are about to decide who leads next.
