COLORADO POLITICS — The endorsements keep coming as candidates running in Colorado primaries near the finish line.

This week, the Communication Workers of America Colorado and Wyoming state councils threw their support behind former State Treasurer Cary Kennedy, one of four Democrats running for governor.

“Colorado’s governor must be someone who is a champion for working families in our state and must be someone who will fight for them everyday at the Capitol. Cary Kennedy will lead the fight for strong unions, higher wages, paid sick and family leave, retirement security and critical protections for working people in our state,” said Madison Cassels, president of the union’s state councils.
