Yesterday, the Pueblo Chieftain reported significant out of state money flowing in to aid embattled State Senator Angela Giron as she fights a grassroots recall effort prompted by her support of radically left-leaning gun control legislation signed into law this year by Democratica Governor Hickenlooper.
They reported she has raised 6 times the amount the group supporting the recall has raised, but she will lose in the recall.
I just read that article from the Chieftain. I’ll post what the paper excerpted here. ;-)

State Sen. Angela Giron’s campaign to fend off a recall election got substantial financial help in recent weeks — $71,000 in contributions, with the bulk coming from Denver and Washington, D.C., political donor committees.
Giron, a Pueblo Democrat, is the target of a recall drive by Pueblo-area gun rights supporters and Republicans. Her defense campaign, called Puebloans for Angela, received a $35,000 contribution from the Sixteen Thirty Fund in Washington; a $20,000 contribution from a Denver organization called Citizens for Integrity; and a $15,000 contribution from a Denver group called Mainstream Colorado.
Small individual contributions brought the total to $71,000 as of May 23, according to reports filed with the Colorado Secretary of State’s office. “
