DENVER — Voters will decide the nominees for several state legislative races during the June 25 primary.In Colorado State House District 4, which is located in northwest Denver, State Rep. Tim Hernandez, is facing a Democratic primary challenge from Cecelia Espenoza, a former immigration attorney, law professor, and judge.“Having lost the vacancy, I made a determination that the voters still needed to make a choice and so now I'm running for the primary,” said Espenoza.
Espenoza, who describes herself as a “mainstream lifelong Democrat with progressive values,” said she has been active in local Democratic politics and has served in a variety of roles.“Mr. Hernandez has staked out of a position in the far-left part of the Democratic Party, maybe even farther than the far left,” said Espenoza. “I do not believe this district as a whole is far left.
“I am sorry for the harm I have caused to many in the Jewish community and the Israeli community this week,” Hernandez said in his apology video.Democratic incumbents face competition in Colorado state House primaries Hernandez said he has learned a lot during his short time in office. “It's all a learning process,” Hernandez said. “I'm a teacher. I think everybody can always learn all the time.”“My community, our community is going to select a public school teacher, somebody from the neighborhood, and somebody who's going to fight for poor people, working-class people, and renters,” he said.
In January, she was reprimanded by House Speaker Julie McCluskie for interrupting a Jewish lawmaker’s speech during the special session in November."A lot of people in my community want to see in a representative someone who is willing to collaborate and listen and fight for the values that are so important to my district,” said Camacho. “I feel like I would bring a different perspective to that.
