Key endorsements
With Michael Bennet, a current Democratic U.S. senator, and John Hickenlooper, a former governor and now-aspiring Democratic U.S. senator, both in the presidential race earlier this cycle, most of Colorado's high-profile Democratic politicians either endorsed one of those two or abstained from publicly picking a presidential candidate.

However, Colorado state Rep. Emily Sirota, who represents a district encompassing Denver and much of its suburbs, did endorse Sanders.
Key issues
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}As one of the first states to legalize marijuana for recreational use, candidates' stances on how the federal government should treat marijuana are likely to weigh on Colorado voters. That was one of the points Sanders went out of his way to make on a visit to the state, according to the Denver Post.
"It is part of that broken criminal justice system that we have the so-called ‘war on drugs.’ I want to thank Colorado for leading this country in a new way by legalizing marijuana,” Sanders said, according to the paper.
Other issues, including federal land management and natural gas extraction, which has increased dramatically in Colorado in the past 30 years, could play a role in how voters choose their candidates.
