DENVER – Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will be at Adams City High School on Wednesday with her running mate Sen. Tim Kaine, talking about her economic stimulus plan for her first 100 days as president.

Keeping in theme with a three-day bus tour she and Kaine launched on Friday at Temple University in Pennsylvania, Clinton will first stop in Denver at the Knotty Tie Co. The company sells handmade, custom-designed ties, pocket squares and scarves. The small business also touts a “social mission” by working with refugee resettlement agencies to employ and train refugees. The event is not open to the public.

Clinton will then head north to a public rally at Commerce City, an industrial suburb of Denver with a significant Latino population. She’ll speak at the high school and will likely touch on themes she addressed over the weekend in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

There haven’t been polls in Colorado since Republicans and Democrats finished their respective conventions, so it’s unclear how the high-profile events have impacted public opinion here. But Clinton has led by an average of eight points in Colorado, leaving some questioning whether the state is still a swing state.

Donald Trump was in Colorado Springs and Denver on Friday and his running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, will be at Mile High Station in Denver at 2 p.m. Wednesday and at The Antlers hotel in Colorado Springs at 6 p.m. Doors open for the Antlers event at 3 p.m.

It’s unclear when Clinton will come to Colorado Springs, but El Paso Democrats chairwoman Kathleen Ricker is confident she will stop by Colorado’s second-largest city at some point.

“When you look at just the sheer numbers … we need to get out the vote and get 35 percent for her or she won’t win Colorado,” said Ricker, noting that President Barack Obama and his wife both visited Colorado Springs numerous times throughout his presidential campaigns in 2008 and 2012.

As of Monday, there were almost 76,000 registered Democrats in El Paso County, putting it on par with Boulder, Jefferson and Arapahoe counties, despite the fact that it includes more than 150,000 registered Republicans.

Ricker said that the local party is focusing on a voter registration drive and will shift persuasion efforts closer to the election.

Clinton’s message on her jobs tour might play well in Colorado Springs, which hasn’t seen the level of economic growth that Denver and other front-range communities lifted by the oil and gas boom have seen.

“We’ve got to make this economy work for everyone, not just those at the top,” Clinton said at Temple University. “Within the first 100 days of our administration we’re going to break through the gridlock in Washington and make the biggest investment in new good-paying jobs since World War II.”

She focused on high-tech jobs, specifically mentioning infrastructure, and advanced manufacturing.

“I’m also going to pay special attention to those parts of our country that have been left out,” she said.

Ricker said she wasn’t sure Trump’s rally in Colorado Springs did him any good.

“I don’t think this is (such) a cavalier group of people that barraging them with criticism of a local fire chief plays well here,” Ricker said, referencing Trump’s criticism of the fire marshal for refusing to exceed capacity in the auditorium at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.

Clinton’s event in the high school will likely be similar in size to Trump’s event. Tickets stopped being issued for the Clinton event Tuesday afternoon.
