Letter to the Governor Concerning Senate Seat

Dear Governor Ritter,
I find it in the best interest for the state of Colorado to appoint Former Speaker Andrew Romanoff to the United States Senate. I say this a person who has known Andrew Romanoff, a life long resident of Colorado, and as a former employee at the state capitol.

Speaker Romanoff has shown to be a deliberate person who is open to those who disagree with him. He listens before giving his opinion and his office staff is the best in Colorado politics.

Additionally, Speaker Romanoff has the experience of organizing Democrats and Republicans in his former position has House Speaker. The biggest problem facing the senate is whether or not Democrats, Republicans, and the moderates within both parties can come together to pass legislation during this critical time in our nation's history. Speaker Romanoff has shown that he can earn the respect of his colleagues. If you have any doubts about his you can ask former House Minority leader Mike May.

Though Congressmen Edward Perlmutter, John Salazar, Mayor John Hickenlooper, and Congresswoman Dianna DeGette are very bright people and capable of fufilling their duty it is in the best interest to keep the term limited Speaker in Colorado politics. The aforementioned individuals are best kept in their current roles. This is particularly in concern to Congressman Salazar who as a member of the appropriations committee can exercise more power than he can as a freshmen senator.

Speaker Romanoff might not as easily win reelection as Perlmutter, Salazar, and Hickenlooper but my experience with all of these politicians leads me to conclude that Romanoff is the best candidate for the job. Please appoint Speaker Romanoff as Colorado's next senator.
