Confirmed: Tom Tancredo to Run for Governor
by Jimmy Sengenberger | 11:08 pm, November 12, 2009 | Comments Off
Former Congressman Tom Tancredo (CD-6) will run for Governor. News of this possibility began surfacing on Monday, and it has now been confirmed by various sources. The astounding development comes on the heels of the withdrawal of Senate Minority Leader Josh Penry – who Tancredo had originally endorsed – from the race on Monday.
“Early rumors that Tancredo had formed an exploratory committee ‘are not accurate,’ [Tancredo] noted. ‘We’ve not filed any papers exploring anything. I fully intend to run. It’s just that I have to do a few little things in the meantime before we can make a formal announcement. I need to get my own house in order.’” (Westword Blog)
The news is sure to shake things up considerably in what many observers had thought was an open-and-shut race after Penry’s withdrawal. Currently small business owner Dan Maes is the only official challenger to former Congressman Scott McInnis.
In an interview with Jimmy Sengenberger on Regis University’s Seng Center radio show on 10/29, Tancredo was posed the question, “What’s next for Tom Tancredo?” His response: “You know, I really believe that there is a plan for all of us, God has that plan for everybody on this planet. And I will leave it up to him as to what’s next for Tom Tancredo.” Well, now we know what God’s plan is.
