Mike Coffman’s “conservative” convictions have unfortunately been about as firm as jello. He’s been all over the map, likely because of that gerrymander, trying to portray himself as a conservative, but still pandering somewhat to the left as well. To paraphrase an old saying, If you try to stand in the middle of the road you’re going to get run over.
Ironically, years ago he passed on a run at statewide office to keep what was then a safe seat.
