Shannon Watts Looking at Run for Congress in Colorado CD-2

CD2 is a heavily Democrat Colorado Congressional district that includes Boulder, Colorado. Boulder is a very left leaning University town. The person who wins the Democrat primary will almost certainly win the Congressional seat. Shannon Watts owns property there.  She may use her anti-rights work for Michael Bloomberg in an attempt to lever herself into Congress. On June 12, 2019 Shannon Watts said she was looking at running for the seat in 2018.  From denverpost.com:

Within hours of U.S. Rep. Jared Polis formally announcing his run for Colorado governor, two Democrats — Ken Toltz and Shannon Watts, both gun-control advocates — said they were eyeing the Boulder Democrat’s congressional seat.

Shannon Watts has made a name for herself as the hired gun of Michael Bloomberg, heading up Moms Demand for Gun Sense in America.

The anti-rights group has had little success attracting supporters or in passing restrictions on gun ownership and use.  They have had some success in passing restrictive referendums.

Michael Bloomberg's money and organization were critical in passing Washington State's controversial and highly restrictive elimination of private gun sales.  Under the referendum, all "private" gun sales and transfers must be conducted through a federal dealer, insuring the federal government has a paper trail of the transaction.

Bloomberg's money and organization may be used in an attempt to place Shannon Watts in Congress.

There is likely to be little difference in the votes that are relevant to the Second Amendment, whoever is elected from CD2. Watts has not shown significant organizational talent.

She has shown an ability to follow Michael Bloomberg's legislative desires. If she is elected, limiting Second Amendment rights are likely to be her top legislative priority.

Shannon Watts and her husband have purchased a 2.2 million dollar home in Boulder. Working to undermine the Second Amendment for Michael Bloomberg has worked out for Shannon.

Yup. I posted something about their house the other day under a header about how being a gun control activist must pay real well. I think I still have it. Yup. Here it is:

And? One anti American for another - so what?

Even if this worthless puppet of Bloomturd wins the seat, this gun-grabber would still be just one vote out of 435.

Gun grabbing is a losing issue for the libtards on the national scene.

CO is an example of a state ruined by Leftist transplants from the coasts. The cancer spreads.

Sadly,there are just certain parts of the country...districts/regions/states....from which we can expect the filthiest,dirtiest representatives to be elected.

Vermont...San Francisco....Boston,etc.

Changing that,if it can be changed at all,won't happen overnight.It will take decades.

Just sayin'....

I think that CO was ruined by refugees from just one coast,the Left Coast.OTOH,Vermont (just to name one) was almost entirely destroyed by transplants from New York,Massachusetts and Connecticut.

AZ is the other sate being invaded Rat transplants. Recently I’ve spent a lot of time there and every weekend it gets flooded with cars with California plates. It’s basically purple now especially when the Libertarians peel off their 5-10% of the vote.

But, I thought she was an “ordinary INDIANA housewife”?

She’s a FRAUD.

Don’t leave out the considerable number from Austin who brought their ideological cancer with them.

I’m waiting for a cure.

Proof that he is also an idiot:

John Watts, owner of Watts Fine Art, said despite several marketing efforts, the store will close in October because business has been slow and the shop isn’t getting enough foot traffic and sales.

“After over three years in business, it became clear to us that our strategy of bringing museum quality national artists to Indianapolis was not a fit for the local market and especially Zionsville,” he said. “We don’t see this changing for a variety of reasons and did not want to compromise on the type of art we sell or the artists we represent.

DOH! Who could have seen that coming? And it only took 3 years.

No doubt she would be offended if you told her she made her name in the backs of dead children. Be fun to watch. PRB always go ‘tard but the gun grabbing aspect might make it fun to watch.

Yep, they tip a lot of races to the left.
