@YouCantBeatBlue @Jpete008 @david_darmofal @taylormadeworld Hi Jane, I’ve spoken in-person to Rep. Maloney about primarying her. She knows it’s in good faith. As you live in Denver, most likely you don’t know about the obstacles my district is facing. I’ve written 90 pages about it. Feel free to read all about it: https://t.co/dM1sW1LSae
