Young throws hat into Dist. 8 race

Colorado State Treasurer Dave Young last week became the fourth prominent Democrat to throw his hat in the ring for Colorado’s highly competitive 8th Congressional District.

“The residents of Colorado’s 8th District are worried about their economic future – and rightfully so,” Young said in a statement announcing his candidacy. “I’m running for Congress to stand up for working families, protect the programs they count on, and ensure our economy works for everyone, not just the wealthy few. I am running to stand up for Colorado’s working families and deliver results that matter in a time of uncertainty.”
