The blueprint of June's primary elections in Colorado came together Saturday for Democrats.
State of play: The Democratic Party gathering nominated candidates in a handful of statewide races. Here's what you missed:
✔️ State Sen. Jeff Bridgeswon the Democratic nomination for treasurer after two rivals failed to get enough support to make the ballot.
✔️ Two Democratic candidates qualified for the secretary of state race: Jefferson County clerk Amanda Gonzalez and state Sen. Jessie Danielson.
✔️ The Democratic contest for attorney general remains a four-way campaign after two high-profile candidates qualified Saturday.
Boulder District Attorney Michael Dougherty received only 18% support. He can still qualify via petitions with voter signatures.
✔️ Phil Weiserdominated the assembly vote for governor, declared himself the "candidate of Colorado" and labeled his absent rival, Michael Bennet, the "candidate of Washington."
What's next: The Republican Party will meet April 10-11 to pick their candidates for the primary election.
