BROOMFIELD – The Colorado Democratic Party’s state assembly has given former state treasurer Cary Kennedy the top line on its June 26 primary ballot.

Kennedy, of Denver, received 61.65 percent of the vote. U.S. Rep. Jared Polis of Boulder also made the ballot with 32.85 percent. A third candidate, Erik Underwood, failed to gain the 1,300 votes that would give him 30 percent of the vote and a place on the ballot. Candidates must win at least 30 percent of the vote to make it onto the primary ballot.

“Thank you to all of the Democrats in Colorado who gave up their Saturday to participate in this important, grass-roots process,” Kennedy said in a statement. “I am so grateful to the delegates who supported me today and throughout the caucus process. This grass-roots momentum is going to take me to victory in June and November.”

Kennedy and Polis could be joined on the ballot by Lt. Gov. Donna Lynne, who is waiting for the results of petitions she submitted to the secretary of state last month. Former state Sen. Michael Johnston of Denver has already been certified for the ballot through petitions he submitted.

Kennedy’s win comes after her top finish at the party’s March 9 caucuses, where she won 50 percent of the vote. Polis took 32.5 percent.

In the race for treasurer, two candidates made the ballot: Rep. Dave Young of Greeley took top line with 52.16 percent; Bernard Douthit also will be on the primary ballot with 31.5 percent. Charles Schiebe received 16.34 percent of votes.

Two candidates also made the primary ballot for attorney general. Phil Weiser won the most votes, with 52.87 percent; Rep. Joe Salazar of Thornton took 36.58 percent. Amy Padden failed to make the primary ballot through the assembly with 10.54 percent of the vote.

However, Padden is attempting to get onto the ballot through the petition process. Candidates who go through the assembly must gain at least 10 percent of the vote if they do both, so Padden has enough votes to continue on. Her petitions have not been substantiated yet by the secretary of state.

The secretary of state race is now down to two candidates: the incumbent, Republican Wayne Williams, and Democrat Jena Griswold, who will be the only Democrat. She won in a landslide over Phillip Villard. Griswold took 98.44 percent of the vote.

The last race, for regent at large for the University of Colorado, had only one Democratic candidate: Lesley Smith.

Polis’ campaign released a statement after the results were announced, noting that he also turned in 33,000 signatures to make the ballot. He’s the only gubernatorial candidate to go through both the assembly and the petition process.

The Democratic party assembly was held in Broomfield at the 1stBank Center. Close to 4,000 delegates were elected to participate from county assemblies, although fewer than that actually showed up.

Just over 3,400 delegates voted in Saturday’s event.
