The fight for Congressional District 8 is heating up – known to swing both ways, the race is anyone’s game. In a party with a growing divide, democratic centrist Shannon Bird and progressive Manny Rutinel are both vying for the seat, so how will things shake out for the dems? Green chile correspondent Justine Sandoval joins producer Paul Karolyi and host Bree Davies to discuss the CD8 tossup, plus talk about ⁠new over-the-top snacks⁠ coming to Coors Field, Westword editor-in-chief Patty Calhoun’s ⁠big retirement announcement⁠, and of course, our wins and fails of the week.

Paul talked about Welton Street Café winning its $1 million case ⁠against a shoddy contractor⁠, and the ⁠GoFundMe for Eduardo Morales⁠, a TSA agent who was killed in a hit and run accident. Justine talked about the panaderia saving Jim’s Burger Haven from a ⁠big bun shortage⁠. Bree mentioned the Denver Post’s reporting on ⁠Bruce Brown’s mustache⁠.
