Seems Hudak has been claiming the citizens want bigger and more restrictive gun control If she had the support she claims she would stand her ground.

Colorado Democratic state Sen. Evie Hudak, the third legislator facing the prospect of a recall for her support of tough new gun control laws, resigned on Wednesday rather than risk losing her seat in a special election.

Had that happened, power in the state senate would have shifted to the Republican Party. With Hudak’s resignation, however, Democrats can appoint her successor and hold onto a one-seat majority. Democrats also control the state House.

“Though it is difficult to step aside, I have faith that my colleagues will honor the legacy my constituents and I have built,” Hudak wrote in her letter of resignation to the Secretary of the Senate. “I am thankful to my fellow legislators who have been so supportive in recent weeks, standing by my side and encouraging me to keep fighting.”

Hudak also defended her support of Colorado’s controversial gun control laws that have already cost two other Democrats their seats. Former Sens. John Morse and Angela Giron were the first legislators in state history to be recalled during a special election in September. All three were targeted for their support of laws limiting the size of ammunition magazines and requiring universal background checks.

In her resignation letter, Hudak called the legislation “sensible.”

“Most Coloradans believe that going through a background check is a reasonable thing to do if it means we can keep guns out of the hands of violent criminals,” she wrote. “Most Coloradans believe that the convenience of high-capacity ammunition magazines is less important than saving lives in tragedies like Sandy Hook, Aurora and Columbine.”

“I am proud of what I accomplished over the last year and I believe these bills will make life better for all the people of my district and for all Coloradans,” Hudak wrote.

Hudak was first targeted for comments she made to a rape victim testifying against a bill that would have banned weapons on college campuses, telling the woman that the “statistics are not on your side even if you had a gun.”

If she is so sure she is right why didn't she stay and fight? Sounds like another democrap that would rather flap their gums than follow their constituents wishes. Sounds like the "party" decided she was dispensable but they didn't want to lose their majority in the senate. Typical liberal taking the chicken's way out.
