Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) is running for governor of Colorado next year, NBC News reports.
“Bennet is expected to announce his campaign as soon as Friday and will look to succeed term-limited Democratic Gov. Jared Polis in a state that has trended towards his party in recent years. And he is the latest Senate Democrat looking to leave Washington, after three retirement announcements in recent weeks.”
