Rep. Klingenschmitt announces run for state senate
State Representative Gordon Klingenschmitt announced Wednesday night that he will run for state senate in 2016.
Klingenschmitt made the announcement at a restaurant in Colorado Springs.
He currently is the representative for House District 15. He will run for Senate District 12.
Klingenschmitt was also allowed back on one of his committees at the state capitol Wednesday. He was temporarily suspended after making comments about Michelle Wilkins. She is the pregnant Longmont woman who was stabbed and her baby was removed last month.
Klingenschmitt later apologized for those comments.
