Andrew Romanoff, former Speaker of the Colorado House and a Democratic candidate for the United States Senate, had planned an appearance in Pagosa Springs tomorrow at Nell's Bistro.
That appearance has been canceled and will be rescheduled for a later date, according to a press release sent out by the Archuleta County Democratic Party.
Elected to four terms in the state legislature, Andrew Romanoff was the Speaker of the House from 2005 to 2009. He led the Democrats to their first back-to-back majorities in more than 40 years. His leadership earned national recognition, including Governing magazine’s top honor as Public Official of the Year.
 After earning a bachelor’s degree at Yale, Romanoff set off for Costa Rica and Nicaragua, where he taught English in rural high schools. After coming home, he earned a master’s degree in public policy at Harvard and a law degree at the University of Denver.
Romanoff worked in the private sector, as a senior associate at the Colorado consulting firm of Greenberg Baron Simon & Miller, before accepting a job with Governor Roy Romer. He worked in the Office of Policy and Initiatives, analyzing state and national proposals for education reform.
Romanoff has taught at the University of Colorado, the Community College of Aurora, Metropolitan State College of Denver, and Red Rocks Community College. He has served on the boards of the Center for Women’s Employment and Education, the Colorado Children’s Campaign, Colorado Common Cause, and the Colorado Health Foundation; headed two neighborhood groups; and mentored at-risk students through Denver Kids.
His contributions to Colorado have been recognized by more than 50 organizations throughout the state.
