Mike Miles Endorsement 

Andrew was endorsed last week by current Harrison School District Superintendent and founder of Be The Change USA, Mike Miles. 

On the Move

Over the last week, Andrew's "Main Street Tour" rolled through Colorado, with stops in Fort Morgan, Holyoke, Wray, Burlington, Cheyenne Wells, Holly, Granada, Lamar, Las Animas and La Junta. He capped off that trip with appearances in Colorado Springs and Monument, and followed up with midweek visits to Loveland, Greeley, Longmont and Boulder.

On Saturday, Feb. 27, Andrew was in New Castle for the Garfield County Democrats' central committee meeting, then in Frisco, Black Hawk and Idaho Springs. In the first week of March it's on to Louisville, Elizabeth, Frisco, Sterling, Fort Collins, Edwards, Pueblo, Greeley, Boulder and Lafayette. Not to mention a variety of appearances in and around Denver.

In the Press

Robert Allen of the Summit Daily News:

Former Colorado Speaker of the House Andrew Romanoff visited Frisco on Saturday.  Romanoff said he aims to help curb the partisan gridlock in Washington, D.C. through strategy that worked in Denver to "bring people together outside the Capitol to get things done inside."

Dan Barker of the Ft. Morgan Times:

Those who want to be somebody and those who want to do something, said Andrew Romanoff during a stop at the Country Steak-Out in Fort Morgan. Too many of those in the nation's capital spend more time making sure they are re-elected than doing the job they were sent there to do, Romanoff said. Romanoff's appearance was part of a tour of Northeast Colorado.
