Gallegos misses petition deadline; Vigil turns in signatures

By Jeremy Pelzer, PolitickerCO.com Reporter

[img_assist|nid=1194|title=Gallegos|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=109|height=153]State Rep. Rafael Gallegos (D-Antonio) won't be on the August primary ballot for House District 62, as he missed the Thursday deadline to turn in petition signatures to the Colorado Secretary of State's office.

HD-62 Democratic candidate Ed Vigil, a Costilla County commissioner, did turn in petition signatures on Wednesday, according to a Secretary of State spokesperson. If his signatures are verified, he'll face Rocky White in the August Democratic primary.

Gallegos fails to make ballot in HD-62 assembly upset

By Jeremy Pelzer, PolitickerCO.com Reporter

[img_assist|nid=1194|title=Gallegos|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=150|height=211]In a surprising upset, state Rep. Rafael Gallegos (D-Antonio) fell three votes short of making the August primary ballot during the HD-62 Democratic assembly Friday in Colorado Springs.

Rocky White walloped both Gallegos and Ed Vigil in the assembly vote, capturing 32 of the 58 assembly votes. Gallegos won 14 votes; Vigil received 12.

Gallegos, in his second term as a state House member, can still petition onto the ballot. Vigil is a Costilla County commissioner.
