Former State Treasurer Cary Kennedy, a Democrat gubernatorial candidate, announced this week she’s been endorsed by more than two dozen current and former elected state officials – including two former Senate presidents, two former lieutenant governors and the first woman nominated for governor by a major party in Colorado.

In addition, more than 50 officials, civic leaders and trailblazers from across the state are supporting Kennedy’s campaign, she said.

“I am honored to have the support of so many Coloradans,” Kennedy said in a statement. “Their leadership has helped make Colorado the place we all love. As governor, I will build on this progress and work to ensure that it reaches everyone.”

Kennedy is one of five Democrats running for governor in next year’s election. She was elected state treasurer in 2006 but lost a bid for reelection four years later to Republican Walker Stapleton, one of seven candidates vying in the GOP primary. She served as chief financial officer and deputy mayor of Denver from 2011 to 2016.
