 Commissioner Bruce now a State Representative
El Paso County Commissioner Doug Bruce plans to resign from the board next month. He's now a state representative. Bruce was appointed to fill a vacant seat in the House for District 15 that opened when Rep. Bill Cadman was appointed to the Senate. Bruce will head to Denver in mid-January.
"If Democrats want to pick a fight, I'm ready, but I'm not going up there with mace and a battle ax," he said. "I'm just going up there to represent my view of limited government."
Bruce will fill the remainder of the term, which is a year, and says he plans to run for another term. A Republican committee will select someone to fill the empty seat on the board of county commissioners. Three candidates are currently running.
