**Breaking** Mike Johnston just dropped out of CO Senate campaign to take on Corey Gardner
Opening the field even wider to Hickenlooper. (not so much for the few women in the race, though)
It is the second time in as many years that Johnston’s well-funded runs for office have been cut short by better-known Democratic opponents. Last year, he ran for governor, only to lose the Democratic primary to Jared Polis.
Eleven candidates remain in the Democratic race to take on Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Yuma, next year. Hickenlooper leads the pack in the latest polls, with former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff in second and several other candidates competing for top-tier positions.
