Former Sen. Mark Hillman: I’m not running for elected office in 2010
Former Republican Burlington state Sen. Mark Hillman will not run for elected office in 2010, told Political Notebook today.
“Just wanted to give you a heads up that I’ve begun telling my closest friends and best supporters that I will NOT be running for office in 2010,” Hillman said in an e-mail.
Hillman, one of Colorado’s representatives on the Republican National Committee, has been mentioned as a possible candidate to take on Congresswoman Betsy Markey, D-Colo., or as a contender for one of the state’s top-of-the-ticket races.

UPDATE: It seems The Associated Press and a number of Web sites have picked up our Hillman story.
Conservative blog Rocky Mountain Right provides some reaction, including this curious observation: “This … turns the U.S. Senate upside down on the Republican side. Ryan Frazier and Bob Beauprez are now the only serious potential candidates looking at the race for the time being.”
