A Denver judge ordered the Secretary of State’s Office to halt the ongoing effort to recall Sen. Kevin Priola on Monday night, ruling that the campaign likely violated the constitutional rights of his constituents and handing a win to Democrats’ hopes of controlling the Senate this winter.
Priola now represents District 25, an Adams County seat. His new district will be District 13, which is more conservative and includes Greeley. The order does not shield Priola from a recall forever: His constituents to-be can recall him after the legislative session begins on Jan. 9. But given the length of time recall efforts take, it likely ensures he will last the session, bolstering the chances of Democratic control of the Senate.
