According to an emailed statement dated January 3, 2009, Denver Public Schools Superintendent Michael F. Bennet was selected by Colorado Governor Bill Ritter to replace Ken Salzar in the Senate. The seat will become available if the current senator, Ken Salazar, is confirmed by the U.S. Senate for the position of Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior in the Obama Administration. In a statement, President-Elect Barack Obama said that he felt Ritter made an "excellent choice" and that Bennet would be "a breath of fresh air in Washington."Bloomberg: Colorado Governor Picks Schools Chief for U.S. Senate (January 3, 2009)
Quote
"Uncertain times call for certain leadership, and that’s why Michael Bennet is the right choice to represent all Coloradans in the Senate. He has an impressive record of bringing people together to find common ground and common-sense solutions to complex problems, and of turning around troubled public and private enterprises and leaving them far stronger than he found them."—Bill RitterBloomberg: Colorado Governor Picks Schools Chief for U.S. Senate (January 3, 2009)-
