Progressive Manny Rutinel advances in Colorado’s 8th District Democratic primary
TL;DR Summary
Progressive state Rep. Manny Rutinel won Colorado's 8th District Democratic primary, defeating moderate Shannon Bird and heading to a November showdown with GOP Rep. Gabe Evans. The race, a top Democratic pickup target, drew heavy spending and Latino-group support in a district about 40% Latino. Republicans argue Rutinel would be a tougher general election challenger than Bird; Evans has a substantial fundraising lead. Rutinel has moderated some positions, including Medicare for All and fracking, to appeal to a broader electorate.
