Gregg Smith running for US House Colorado-3 to replace Lauren Boebert

12. i don't have a problem with his being tied to Erik Prince given he no longer has a relationship with

either Prince or the group FSP which he's left. It remains to be seen who else will be jumping into the race and ends up the Dem nominee, but unless something really damning comes out about Smith i don't see a problem with him running. The article mentions that members of Congress are not required to live in the district they represent, which is a darn shame. Smith has owned his CO ranch since 2008, even though he didn't live there permanently till 7 months ago.

Let's face it - we're the Big Tent party. We're supposed to be inclusive. Just because he's a Dem convert & and had a (now-severed) relationship with Erik Prince & FSP doesn't mean he's a bad guy. We can have conservative Dems too - Steve Smith comes to mind. I'm glad we're getting converts. We need all the support we can get from good people.
