The date for turning in primary election ballots is fast approaching.

KRCC’s Andrea Chalfin sat down to talk with both candidates. Yesterday, we heard from challenger Blaha. Today, we’ll hear a portion of her conversation with Doug Lamborn, who spoke with Andrea from his office in Washington. She began by asking him why he’s seeking another term.
