CU Regent race shake-up
According to a tip from an Aurora legislator, the race for the 7th Congressional District’s seat on the University of Colorado Board of Regents has a new face.
Monisha Merchant, previously a candidate to replace current state Rep. Karen Middleton on the state Board of Education, is stepping into the race after Denver attorney Patrick Mulligan ended his campaign due to “unforeseen circumstances.”
The info on the newcomer: Merchant, 31, of Lakewood, currently works as director of product development at Level 3 Communications in Broomfield. She also has been selected as a delegate for the upcoming Democratic National Convention. Both Monisha, and her mother Mona, previously lent their time and support to US Senator Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
Calls to Merchant on Wednesday evening for comment have, as yet, gone unreturned.

I did not know what the CU Regent position was until I met Monisha Merchant last week when she knocked on my door. Ms. Merchant will definitely bring a fresh perspective to the Board as well as her experience as an engineer and a businesswoman. I encourage the voters in CD7 to elect Monisha Merchant.
