You got it. I've had a look at his page and his stances on things. I don't fully line up (that's probably impossible for any candidate unless he was your close relative ;-) ) but like what I've seen thus far.

" little more liberal on the social issues "

You mean like when the ACLU sues the city over anything they try to do to curb the homeless/transient population which results in downtown and the surrounding areas being overrun with the issues of these people and that culture. The result is a city center that has lost much of it's vitality, high crime, and ironically the permissive environment places people in need farther away from systems of help. By default citizens that pay the taxes and their way suffer the costs of this dysfunctional approach.
While we have discussed it here before, I have been seeing some of the second and third affects from legalizing marijuana. Try and rent a large space for your business here, if you could find one the rents would prevent a legitimate business from viably covering those cost in many cases. Rash of people here now who's intent is to grow crops here for distribution in other states. Non legal insecticides being used under the table. Hash oil explosions across the entire state. Not to mention the draw to people across the country that just want to come here to get stoned, yes that social liberal agenda is a tricky one while I'm certainly not against some good ideas, I am very cautious about a liberal agenda without knowing who will actually pay the costs.
But back to the main point of this thread, Sdiver glad to hear there is another candidate you can support.....so when will we head to Boulder?

Lots of unintended consequences. When one tears down walls very quickly they find out almost as quickly why they were put up in the first place. I don't consider myself a full conservative but certainly not a liberal. I prefer policies that are well thought out. Usually that takes a lot of time to do that.

Allowing rec mj in my opinion was not well thought out but it's here and we do have time to put things in place. There's no reason you can't regulate it like you do alcohol (which is far more of a problem imvho) but that requires some work that our city council doesn't seem to interested in. But, I'm not bitter about it.

sdiver, I like how Sen. Neville is traveling the state and going to some somewhat remote places. I like his stance on business and guns. Out of curiosity, do you know if he's made any comments about Mr. Trump? I wonder what he thinks of him.

Thanks. I helped Tim get elected in the '14 election to the Colorado State Senate along with a few others, while I was working at a Super-Pac. Not only do I feel Tim is the best candidate for the job, he currently represents me in CD-16 and that's why I'm taking off from school and working in his office.

In fact, SD-16 is a microcosm of the state in how the voters are arrayed. 33% (R), 33% (D), and 34% (I) +/- 2%. Tim was told by the nay-sayers that he didn't stand a snow ball's chance of winning, but through a concerted grass roots effort, he proved them wrong and won by over 2500 votes. Part of which includes southern Boulder and Western Denver counties.

We've pretty much brought the same team back together this time around. Yes, there are one or two MIA. I'm not going to mention names <cough><cough> MR2 <cough><ahh-choo>, so we're feeling confident that we'll give Bennet a run for his east coast money.

I can tell you, Tim is driven in his conviction to not only represent the people of Colorado, but to help "heal" this country from the damages done these past 7 1/2 years.

That is one thing we all agreed upon, is that Tim needed to get to many of the counties well away from the "front-range influence." Hey, they're part of our state too, and he's out to represent the WHOLE state, not just certain parts as Bennet does.

He is a man of limited means and our campaign is being very "frugal" with the donations being sent in. We're "brown bagging" it for lunches and dinners here in the office and using our own POVs to drive Tim around the state. Some of which we're amazed that they're still running.

We ALL don't mind because we know what the end goal is, and that is getting Tim across the finish line and be able to call him U.S. Senator Neville.

As far as Trump is concerned, he hasn't said who he's endorsing. He's focused on his current session at the State Capitol, where he has several bill's he is working on (Making Colorado a Right To Work state, as well as a Constitutional Carry state) as well as focusing on this campaign. I do know that he will support whomever the GOP picks.
