DENVER — Colorado Democratic gubernatorial candidates U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet and Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser took the stage Thursday evening in their first televised debate ahead of the June 30 primaries.
Hosted by Denver7, CPR News and The Denver Post, the candidates faced off before a live studio audience of a few dozen people as they tried to convince voters why one of the two is the better fit to replace Gov. Jared Polis, who is term-limited after serving eight years in office.
