Competition Out West
One of the major ongoing political stories over the past couple of years, and certainly this year, is renewed two-party competition in the Mountain West. It was for more than a decade solid Republican territory, rivaling the South in allegiance. Now, Democrats control everything in Colorado and hold governorships in Arizona, Montana, New Mexico, etc.
The Christian Science Monitor offers a good primer on all of this.
Written and compiled by staff writers and editors, GOVERNING View is an on-the-ground, and sometimes behind-the-scenes, look at the topics we're covering in print and online. From notes on what's up in statehouses, county courthouses and city halls, to encounters with people, places and things, GOVERNING View is a window into the side of state and local government you don't always see.
