I live in CO, too. Don’t forget Wyatt’s towing and Xcel Energy. I think Polis is prepping for a 2028 or 2032 Presidential run (if we still have free elections then). He’s been a solid governor overall, but he has taken a more Libertarian approach in his second term, tiptoeing rightward on economic issues while keeping his D credentials intact. His influence and veto pen have watered down or canceled several progressive laws passed to hinder wage theft, increase access to medications, etc., generally favoring big business lobbying concerns over the working class. His opposition to regulations on HOAs were particularly galling.
Colorado is not a swing state and neighboring states are pretty much set in their ways, other than AZ, which pays little attention to its 4 Corners neighbor except when water rights come up. Other VPs would have more pull in that regard in states where it matters, IMO.
