Salazar backs Hagan for HD58

By Mike Saccone | Friday, July 25, 2008, 06:04 AM

Democratic House District 58 hopeful Noelle Hagan announced this week she has garnered an endorsement from Congressman John Salazar, D-Colo.:

Hagan is vying with Republican Scott Tipton to replace outgoing state Rep. Ray Rose, R-Montrose.

We’ll repeat here what we said in May, when Speaker of the House Andrew Romanoff, D-Denver, endorsed Hagan: Democrats endorsing Democrats is not news, per se. Such endorsements are noteworthy but should not be seen as unexpected events.

Had Salazar endorsed his 2006 opponent, Tipton, that would have been major news.
