Penry: Movin’ on up

By Mike Saccone | Friday, May 9, 2008, 09:02 AM

As we detailed in today’s edition of The Daily Sentinel, state Sen. Josh Penry, R-Grand Junction, is considered by his peers to be a frontrunner to replace outgoing Senate Minority Leader Andrew McElhany, R-Colorado Springs.

McElhany himself told Political Notebook as much yesterday: “We’re expecting some great things from Josh.”

“He’s very comfortable with the political process,” McElhany added, “and he’s got the unusual attributes of being both interested and creative on policy and good at the political side as well.”

So my question to you, the readers, is where do you think Penry will land next after his stint in the state Senate — either as a senator or in leadership.
