One day after Republicans announced they will not financially back their recruit Jane Norton, multi-millionaire Tom Wiens kicked-off his campaign for U.S. Senate today in Colorado. Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Communications Director Eric Schultz released the following statement:

“With multi-millionaire Tom Wiens’ entry into the Colorado Senate race today, Republican Party establishment candidate Jane Norton’s path to the Republican nomination got even trickier. Norton, yet to prove herself up for this challenge, now faces an opponent with a deep rolodex and the will to sink personal money into a Senate run. As the Republican candidates move further to the right and out of the Colorado mainstream, Michael Bennet is working hard every day to deliver for the people of Colorado. While it is not clear which Republican will emerge from the primary, it is clear that Colorado voters will be faced with two stark choices in 2010: going back to the failed economic policies of the past or moving the state forward with Michael Bennet as their strong advocate in the Senate.”
