"The major-party candidates for Colorado's open governor's seat clashed on energy policy and water issues during two debates over the weekend.
Jared Polis, a Democratic congressman who's held office for 10 years, is running against Walker Stapleton, a Republican who's serving his second term as state treasurer. The incumbent governor, Democrat John Hickenlooper, is term-limited.
Both energy and water are intertwined with Colorado's rapid urban growth — much of Denver's suburban growth is happening in and around existing oil fields in eastern Colorado, and all that growth is stressing the state's water supply."
