Colorado GOP Starts Unity Tour To Back Glenn For Senate

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) - Colorado's top elected Republicans are coming together Saturday to promote their nominee for U.S. Senate, Darryl Glenn.

U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner and the chairman of the state GOP are among the politicians touring Colorado Saturday on what they're calling a "Unity Tour" to promote Glenn. Glenn was nominated last month to challenge Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet.

The former El Paso County commissioner hasn't run for statewide office before.

The campaign starts in Fort Collins Saturday before heading to the Denver suburbs and then south to Colorado Springs and Pueblo.

The Front Range tour includes one of the Republicans who Glenn beat in the primary, former Colorado State Athletic Director Jack Graham.

Other participants are Rep. Ken Buck of Greeley, Secretary of State Wayne Williams and Attorney General Cynthia Coffman.
