"He is unstoppable": Colorado Rep. Joe Neguse looks like the next generation of Democratic
"Joe has this uncanny ability to bring people together and to really help manage personality differences," said Rep. Leslie Herod, D-Denver. "People are attracted to him for it, and in that way he is unstoppable."
"Herod, Neguse and incoming Senate Majority Leader Steve Fenberg, D-Boulder, all met at the University of Colorado at Boulder through their work in student government back in the early 2000s."
"We were big student government nerds," Fenberg said. "We were young people who wanted to be involved in the political process. We felt like we had an immense amount of power, and the administration listened to it."
"The trio soon realized that's not how politics worked outside of the university campus."
