Tom Tancredo says he’s taking the public’s temperature, gauging its appetite for yet another gubernatorial run. A more world-weary reading of the former congressman/forever firebrand’s ad hoc stumping around the state is that it’s a case of, “Oh please, no! Really? Me? You want me to run for guv? Again?”

Either way, Colorado’s favorite fusion politician – part alt-right/populist rabble rouser, part off-again-on-again Republican – will make a whistle stop Oct. 21 at the libertarian-ish Independence Institute in Denver for a breakfast hosted by the Colorado Union of Taxpayers. He will keynote CUT’s annual Taxpayer Champion and Guardian Award Breakfast, honoring members of the General Assembly who vote right – hard right – on taxing and spending issues. So, the right will be leading the right at the event.

Here’s more, courtesy of CUT:

That’s Saturday, Oct. 21 at 8 a.m., at the Independence Institute’s citadel just east of downtown, 727 E 16th Ave, Denver CO 80203. (Parking is free.) The cost is $20 to non-CUT members but free for those who are up to date on their 2018 membership. RSVP: 303-747-2159 or rsvp@coloradotaxpayer.org
