For half a century before him, other Asian Pacific Americans from Hawaii and the Philippines had served as Delegates and Resident Commissioners. Saund, who everyone simply called “Judge,” was a tireless champion of his southern California district and the farmers who called it home. But his unique backstory—born in India, naturalized U.S. citizen, successful businessman, county judge—also catapulted him to the international stage. Dalip Singh Saund, Jon R.

  • PRIME-ARY PERSPECTIVE: COLORADO, MARYLAND, NEW YORK, OKLAHOMA, and UTAH PLUS RUNOFFS in MISSISSIPPI and SOUTH CAROLINA
    PRIME-ARY PERSPECTIVE: COLORADO, MARYLAND, NEW YORK, OKLAHOMA, and UTAH PLUS RUNOFFS IN MISSISSIPPI and SOUTH CAROLINA PRIME-ARY Perspectives is a series that will give you an overview of the most noteworthy results from each state's primary election, focusing on congressional districts that are likely to be most competitive in November, as well as those that will have new representation in 2019 because of retirements. As always, please do not hesitate to reach out to us with questions! COLORADO Colorado holds a PVI score of +1 and features two races that are well worth watching. The gubernatorial race should be a tight race and the 6th district race features a seat that the Democrats hope to win back in November. GUBERNATORIAL With incumbent Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper term-limited out, the Colorado governor race is open. Colorado tends to elect Democratic governors and this race is viewed as a lean democrat by the Cook Political Report. Walker Stapleton (R) Colorado state treasurer Walker Stapleton has won the Republican primary with 47% of the vote. Stapleton defeated former state Rep. Vic Mitchell, Doug Robinson, a first-time candidate and nephew of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney; and businessman Greg Lopez. Stapleton has closely aligned himself with President. Trump's tax and immigration policies. Stapleton promises to keep energy jobs in the state and lower taxes. Jared Polis (D) Democrat Rep. Jared Polis has won the primary election to run for Colorado governor in November. Polis won with 44% of the vote and has represented Colorado's 2nd district since 2009.
