Wednesday Wrap-Up
- ***Our most sexist event of the year! No, not sexiest, SEXIST. That’s right, the Independent Women’s Luncheon is scheduled for Wednesday, June 3rd.

- ***Senator Michael Bennet evidently has lots of friends in other states. His out of state fundraising abilities has even been featured in a major Denver Post piece. But what does this mean for Republicans poised to grab his seat? I’ll let Jessica Corry answer that one.
