Romanoff, a Denver Democrat, filed federal candidacy papers with the U.S. Senate on Thursday. Romanoff was speaker of the Colorado House, but term limits prevented him from running again when his term ended this year.He was considered a likely pick for the U.S. Senate when then-Sen. Ken Salazar became interior secretary, but Gov. Bill Ritter instead chose Bennet, former Denver Public Schools superintendent.
