A Democratic Colorado state senator resigned Wednesday to avoid a possible recall election over a controversial gun control law that led to the ouster of two of her colleagues earlier this year.So, a Colorado state Senator dodges the bullet and refuses to oppose a recall ballot which would castigate her for her support of unreasonable and outrageous "Gun Control" (read: "anti-Constutional) bills.
Sen. Evie Hudak, who has represented a district that includes Denver’s western suburbs since 2008, announced her resignation less than a week before opponents planned to submit petitions to recall her.
Ho hum, nothing new here. Just another Democrat who got herself elected, decided to impose her own biases on her constituents, and when push leads to shove ... she hasn't the nerve to stand her ground against the mere threat of opposition.
Why is she the "First Turkey"?
Because her fellow state legislators were ousted well before the Thanksgiving Holiday. She brought this approbation upon herself. Other than that, she's just one more arrogant sow sucking on the public teat, until her constituents realized that she represented not them, but her own warped interpretation of "Civil Rights".
This follows the successful recall of Colorado State Senate President John Morse and State Senator Angela Giron, both of whom not only supported but actively lobbied for strong state bills within the Colorado Senate. Those bills would require draconian restrictions on the number of rounds which would be allowed to be loaded into the magazine of a firearm, and would also require a "Universal Background Check" (and the parties involved in transfer of a firearm would be required to pay "a fee" for the background-check process).
Since the bill did NOT pass the Colorado Senate, the details of the background check are less specific than the "fifteen round" magazine capacity limit.
The good citizens of Colorado could see no reason why their civil rights should be so limited by local laws which so obviously obviated the Second Amendment Rights which were clarified in the Constitution, and they (rightly) availed themselves of their rights under both the Federal and the Colorado State Constitutions to recall their "representatives".
Silly Senators: Kix are for Kids, not elected public officials. When you try to exceed your legal powers, when you abuse your office to advance your personal preference, should it be surprising that your "constituents" decide that you are no longer representing their common interests?
Fortunately for all the citizens of Colorado ... there WERE enough "Cajones" in Colorado to unseat two leading State Senators: Senate President John Morse, and Senator Angela Geron.
Subsequent to their political demise, Coloradoan citizens set their sights on the second tier of (Democratic) senators, starting with Ms Hodak ... who at least demonstrated the basic humanity to admit that she was acting under the emphasis of her own personal bias, rather than representing her constituency, and had the good grace to just quit!
Those among us who believe that the Constitution of the United States of America is the basic
"Law of the Land" in America should recognize the citizens of Colorado for their valor and determination.
The ONLY way we can defend our own Constitutional Rights is to stand up to those wussies who would impose their will upon us, whenever they clearly refuse to represent us.
These three State Senators chose to represent their own political bias, rather than their constituents.
They got JUST what they deserved: when our representatives refuse to serve us, they should fall upon their political swords.
And this is JUST what Senator Hodak has done.
Whether she has done so because the realized the error of her ways, or because she chose to quit her "Day Job" because she would rather commit political suicide rather than being voted out of office ... is ultimately immaterial. She saw which way the hammer was going to fall, and got out wile the getting-our was less bad than being summarily ousted.
Good for you, Colorado!

Other comments on the original FOX article:
The recall efforts came after Colorado's Democratic Legislature and governor last year approved a slate of gun-control measures including ammunition magazine limits and expandedbackground checks . ----
(As if the Colorado Voters have confidence in the Democratic Majority in the State Senate! Best Guess: The Colorado voters will be VERY cautious about electing another Arrogant Democrat to that Senate,)
KDVR reports that by resigning, Hudak ensures that a Democrat will be appointed in her seat and the party will retain its one-seat majority in the Senate, which they would have lost if Hudak was successfully recalled.

Unfortunately, there is no recall election remedy for elected federal official. Furthermore most states by their constitutions do not offer the recall remedy available to Colorado.
