Friednash: As America’s duopoly circles the drain, prominent Coloradans jump their parties’ ships
A recent Gallup poll placed Americans’ interest in a third major political party at an all-time high: 62% of Americans say the parties do a poor job representing the American people and a third party is needed. Only 33% believe they are doing an adequate job of representing the people. The fact that 42% of active Colorado voters register as unaffiliated is a clear rejection of the two-party system. Merely five years ago, Colorado party registration gave Democrats 32%, Republicans 33% and unaffiliated voters 35%. Today, Democrats have 30% and Republicans 27%. Unaffiliated voters have increased by a stunning 570,653 total voters. To understand this dynamic, look no further than former Denver City Councilman Albus Brooks, a Democrat, and state Rep. Norma Anderson, a Republican, who both recently switched their party affiliation. Albus Brooks, a lifelong Democrat, moved to Colorado in 1997 to attend and play football at the University of Colorado where he was once named one of the Top 10 hardest hitters by Sports Illustrated. Before running for office, Brooks worked as then-mayor John Hickenlooper’s statewide outreach and political director in his first gubernatorial campaign. In 2011, Brooks defeated 38 opponents and became the youngest African-American ever elected to Denver City Council. As Denver City attorney, I watched firsthand how the freshman city councilmember inspired, fought for his constituents and thought outside of the box. He served two terms on Denver City Council, including two terms as council president, which means he was well-liked and respected by his colleagues. Brooks pushed forward a progressive agenda and had significant wins, including dealing with affordable housing, expanding the Denver Preschool Program, and providing universal access to preschool for all four-year-olds. And yet he has kicked his party to the curb. Norma Anderson, a lifelong Republican, has been an icon in her community and Colorado politics for more than ...
