Republican Donald Rosier, a Jefferson County commissioner since 2010, has announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate, hoping to challenge Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet next year.
Rosier formally announced his run Thursday at an event in Arvada. The Denver Post first reported his candidacy.
Already in the GOP race are state Sen. Tim Neville of Littleton, El Paso County Commissioner Darryl Glenn, former Aurora City Councilman Ryan Frazier and former Parker Mayor Greg Lopez.
Bennet is seeking a second term in this battleground state. In 2010, he narrowly edged Republican Ken Buck, who went on to win an open U.S. House race last year.

Another Republican running in Colorado who’s respectable, but not above 2nd tier. I don’t know much about Rosier other than he unseated an incumbent Democrat in 2010.
Never heard of him before but I already like him better than Bennet.
Respectable people can win during a Trump wave.
Very disappointing recruiting in CO. There is still a lot of time to get a first-tier candidate in, April filing deadline. If not maybe one of these people can stand out like Joni Ernst.
“Who will be the most favorable for us tea partiers?”
I don’t know. But Colorado is not a securely conservative state and that needs to be taken into account.
