Election season is messy. So many candidates. So little time! How to choose? We can’t fill out the bubbles for you, but there are other ways we know how to help. In Colorado Public Radio’s latest season of “Who’s Gonna Govern?” you’ll hear in-depth interviews with candidates in some of our state’s biggest — and most exciting — races. Who will replace Jared Polis in the governor’s mansion? Will Democrats change course from first-term Sen. John Hickenlooper? Can upstart democratic socialist Melat Kiros or CU regent Wanda James beat out super-veteran Diana DeGette in Colorado’s First Congressional District? “Who’s Gonna Govern?” will be periodically popping into your feed throughout the primary season with new episodes – including GOP candidates for governor. And — before you even have a chance to miss us — we will be back with all new interviews for the general election.
