Colorado's gubernatorial race is heating up, and this episode of the podcast is a must-listen for anyone interested in the latest developments. Representative Scott Bottoms joins the show to discuss his campaign and the controversy surrounding his opponent, Victor Marx. Marx has been making headlines with his outlandish claims of being a hero, but the Denver Post has just published an explosive editorial calling him a "huckster" who's been deceiving people with his tales of allegedly "saving" sex trafficking victims.

In this episode, Representative Bottoms shares his thoughts on the debate where Marx's comments were met with widespread criticism. He also discusses the lack of polling in the race and how his campaign is using alternative methods to gauge support. Additionally, he talks about his own experience as a state representative and how it's prepared him for the governor's race.

The conversation also touches on the importance of affordability and public safety in the minds of Colorado voters. Representative Bottoms shares his insights on how these issues are driving the campaign and how he plans to address them if elected. With the primary just around the corner, this episode provides valuable insight into the minds of the candidates and the voters.

Also joining the program is Marx's other GOP primary opponent, Senator Barb Kirkmeyer. She comments on The Denver Post editorial as well and addresses Ryan's comparison of Marx to past cult leaders like David Koresh and Jim Jones. Additionally, Barb outlines why she would rather spend campaign finances on voter outreach rather than pay for polling to be conducted in the race.
