DENVER | Two Democrats will compete to try to replace Republican Walker Stapleton as Colorado state treasurer.

Former U.S. Rep. Betsy Markey and Broomfield mayor Pat Quinn both announced their candidacies on Monday.

Markey is getting the backing of former state treasurer Cary Kennedy and former Lt. Gov. Gail Schoettler.

Quinn is a certified public accountant and is serving in his last term as mayor under term limits.

Stapleton was elected in 2010.

  1. PLEASE….!!! no more incompetent democrats….they destroy everything and tax you to death…someone…i don’t care….moe..larry and curly…i don’t care anyone.

    1. Just because Republicans are telling you they are not spending does not make it true. I agree spending is an issue, but one party is not the problem. You are falling for the good cop – bad cop scam.
      Do some research on what happens to debts, spending and deficits when each party is in charge. You may be suprised.
      You may also find that one spends on things you agree with, while the other spends on things you don’t agree with, but they are both spending. That is how government works.

      1. falling for what?? what do you do? sit around and fabricate what you think people are thinking?? i basically said democrats are a piece of crap are criminals and want to steal your money…this is fact…i didn’t say i endorse anyone else…i know what the obama administration has done to the economy and what democrats do….i want the opposite/….less government and less taxes….that’s what i’m for…you have no idea what i think …so shut the hell up you liberal….that’s your problem thinking you know something……you know nothing.

        1. So you have it all right and we should this listen to whatt you say. Typical Republican….scared of the world and anyone who does not agree. Your fear of the world translates into your lockstep agreement with anything GOP and anger at the world. Go buy some more guns, 249 are not enough.
          Did you complain when Bush started two wars with out paying fom them? Or national education policies with out paying for them, or new medicare plan without paying for them.
          You sir, are a hypocrit that seems to be more concerned about being right, than doing something the right way.
          Hell yes I am a liberal, I am open minded and thoughtful. As a conservative you are closed minded and anchored to a false sense the world was better in the past.
          I am NOT a democrat because they are essentially GOP light. It is a good-cop bad-cop scheme and if you are too ignorant to even know what that means, you are in the right group.
          I am glad you republicans are starting to see the real problems we face, but as usual, you want to blame everyone else with out even a moment of consideration to how your actions and the actions of those you supported might have contributed to the problems.
          Eventually, when the GOP is dead, you will be supporting the Democrats, while I will be supporting the new progressive party that fills the void.
          Think conservative Whig party and Progressive Republican Party. When the Whigs died out, the GOP became the Condervative party and the Democratic Party filled the void.
          It is happening again. But you go ahead and be scared, hide your head in the sand and blame everyone else. My guess is you are old, white, Christian and male. I think we have seen enough of your policies over the last 400 years and we are moving on,
          Have a great day.

          1. again…with your assine lunacy….typical democratic racist pig….bush??? what..?? you got bush up the ass or what…?? your a idiot…..go frak yourself you stupid cow.

          2. I take it back. You are not ignorant, you are just plain stupid. Looking foward to being your next City Council Member. I am sure we will have lots to discuss then.

        2. You said “…this is fact…i didn’t say i endorse anyone else..”
          You also said “someone…i don’t care….moe..larry and curly…i don’t care anyone”
          Fact: You endorsed Moe, Larry and Curly, and anyone who is not a Democrat,
          As an Independant I appreciate your endorsement!!!
